D.

15.45%

Correct Answer: 15.45%

Explanation

Original population = 1,230 New population = 1,040 Decrease in population = 1,230 – 1,040 = 190 Percentage decrease in population =(decrease in population/original population) x 100% = 190/1,230 x 100 = 15.45%

Original population = 1,230 New population = 1,040 Decrease in population = 1,230 – 1,040 = 190 Percentage decrease in population =(decrease in population/original population) x 100% = 190/1,230 x 100 = 15.45%
