HI!!

Answer 2

what was the actual decrease (not the percent)?

Answer 3

well since the population went from 5071 to 4471 then really what you could do it subtract the two numbers:
5071-4471= 600
then divide the 600 difference from the original number
600/5071= which is 0.118 which would be bumped up to 0.12. That's what I got atleast
