    -12.8%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To calculate the percent decrease, we:

    Find the difference between the new value and the original Divide the number by the original Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.

    The population of the town originally had 25,000. 3,200 people moved away. This means that the new population is 21,800.

    21,800-25,000=-3,200 - 3,200/25,000=-0.128 - 0.128 (100) = -12.8%

    The towns population decreased by 12.8%.
