So if we have the number after the 36% increase in population, we would want to subtract that 36% from 51000.
36% of 51000 can be found by multiplying 51000 by 0.36 (0.36 is the decimal equivalent of 36%)
51000 x .36 = 18360
So you simply subtract 18360 from 51000, which is 32,640.
Answer:
26 percent would be your answer.
