Answer: Less than 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the difference of the two numbers: 1,207 - 957 = 250

decrease = original number - new number

2. Then, divide the decrease by the original number

250/1,207 = 0.207

3. Multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage

0.207 x 100 = 20.7%

Therefore, the number of people fell by 20.7%

Hence, the answer is less than 25%
