The number of passengers using a railway fell from 190,205 to 174,989 during a 5-year period. Find the annual percentage decrease over this period.

1.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

We will assume the percentage was the same over the 5 years. The number of passengers using a railway is expressed by the formula

Where

P(t) is the number of passengers after 5 years

                  P(t) = 174,989

P₀ is the number of the passengers at the beginning of the period

                 P₀ = 190,205

r is the rate in percentage    r  = ?

t is time duration    t = 5 years

Substituting these given values into the formula,

                r = 1.65%

The annual percentage decrease over the period of 5 years is 1.65%
