Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to subtract 607000 by 572000 to see how many people in the population decreased.

607,000- 572,000= 35,000

Then you put 35,000 over 607,000

also you need x over 100

35000/607,000 x/100

Then do cross product property

35,000*100=3,500,000

607,000* x= 607,000x

3,500,000= 607,000x

Then do 3,500,000 divided by 607,000

You get 5.76%

Round to the nearest percent and get 6%
