Well 100% is 8000 people. You need to reduce that by 10% which would be 90% of 8000. Take 8000 x .9 and that will give you the answer. Or you can take 8000 and find out what 10% is by multiplying by .1 and then subtract that answer from 8000. I think it is easier to find 90%.

IF IT DECREASED 10% PER YEAR CORRECT ANSWER IS: 8000-800=7200
7200-720=6480
6480-648=5832
5832-583=5249
5249-525=4724
FINAL RESULT 4724
IF THE DECREASE STATED IS FOR THE WHOLE 5 YAER PERIOD ANSWER IS : 7200

First you convert 10% to .1 then you multiply .1 and 8000. You get 800. Then you subtract 800 from 8000. You get 7200.
