Answer:

≈ 13.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.

4963/5769=0.8602

Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage

0.8602*100=86.02%

Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease

100% - 86.02% = 13.98%

Also you can say that is approximately  14%
