To solve this problem, let's proceed step-by-step:
1. Identify the number of Dalmatians registered each year:
- 1990: 47,356
- 1992: 39,432
- 1994: 40,107
- 1996: 30,138
- 1998: 21,027
- 2000: 35,301
- 2002: 31,774
- 2004: 21,827
- 2006: 6,503
- 2008: 5,046
- 2010: 3,326
2. Find the year with the highest number of registrations:
- Comparing all the values, we see that the highest number of registrations was in the year 1990 with 47,356 Dalmatians registered.
3. Find the number of Dalmatians registered in 2000:
- For the year 2000, the number of registrations is 35,301.
4. Calculate the difference in registrations between the peak year (1990) and the year 2000:
- Subtract the number of registrations in 2000 from the peak year:
[tex]\[
47,356 - 35,301 = 12,055
\][/tex]
Answer:
There were 12,055 fewer Dalmatians registered in the year 2000 than in the year when registrations were at their peak (1990).
So, the number of fewer Dalmatians registered in 2000 compared to the peak year is 12,055.
