Between 1683 and 1831, the population of the Ottoman Empire decreased by 22,769,340 people.
This represents a decline of 75.8978%.
Let's break down how we reached these figures step-by-step:
1. Identifying the populations for the years of interest:
- Population in 1683: 30,000,000
- Population in 1831: 7,230,660
2. Calculating the population decrease:
- Subtract the population of 1831 from that of 1683:
[tex]\( \text{Population decrease} = 30,000,000 - 7,230,660 = 22,769,340 \)[/tex]
3. Calculating the decline percentage:
- First, determine the amount of decline relative to the initial population in 1683:
[tex]\( \text{Decline percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Population decrease}}{\text{Population in 1683}} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- Plug in the numbers:
[tex]\( \text{Decline percentage} = \left( \frac{22,769,340}{30,000,000} \right) \times 100 \approx 75.8978\% \)[/tex]
Therefore, between 1683 and 1831, the population of the Ottoman Empire decreased by 22,769,340 people, representing a decline of approximately 75.8978%.
