Given data:

Current population = 24000

Expected decrease = 4%

Concept or formula:

New population = Current population - (Expected decrease % of current population)

Calculation:

Calculate the new population

⇒ New population = 24000 - (4% of 24000) = 24000 - 960 = 23040

Hence, the population of the village next year will be 23040.
