Options:

$15\frac{2}{3}$

$13\frac{1}{3}$

$15\frac{5}{13}$

$13\frac{2}{3}$

Correct Answer:

$13\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Number of plants planted in 2016 = 78

Number of trees planted in 2015 = 90

Percentage decrease = \(\frac{90 - 78 }{90}\) × 100

= \(\frac{12 }{90}\) × 100

= 13\(\frac{1 }{3}\)
