    b

    Step-by-step explanation:

    first we need to find 15% of 4,500

    0.15*4500=675

    4500+675=5175

    5175 people in 2003

    2) next we need to find 4% of 5175

    5175*0.04=207

    since the pop. decreased we need to subtract 207 from 5175:

    5175-207=4968

    4,968 people in 2011
