a is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

At 25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

123,000 x 2.375% = 2,921.25.  This gives you the rate that the population is decreasing.  How long will it take to get to 50,000. Do reverse operations to find this 123,000 - 50,000 = 73,000,  the population need to decrease by 73,000 to get to 50,000.  So let's multiply our rate of 2,921.25 x 25 = 73,031  and our final step..  123,000 - 73,031 = 49,969 below 50,000
