Percentage is a measurement to find value of given number out of hundred.
Given that,
The current population of the city = 20,800.
Let the previous population was 100%.
Since, The population of the city decreased by 35%,
So, the current population of the city = 100 - 35 = 65%

65 % = 20800
1 % = 20800 / 65
1 % = 320
