Answer
The decreased population of a city from $25,000$ to $24,500 .$
Population decreased $=25,000-24,500=500$
Decreased Percentage $=\frac{\text { Population decreased }}{\text { Original population }} \times 100=\frac{500}{25000} \times 100=2 \%$
Hence, the percentage decreased is $2 \%$.
Population decreased $=25,000-24,500=500$
