Solution

The correct option is B 80%
Number of people who went to the zoo on Sunday = 845
Number of people who went to the zoo on Monday = 169

Decrease in number of people visiting the zoo = 845 - 169 = 676

Percentage decrease in number of people visiting the zoo
= $\frac{676}{845} \times 100 = 80$

Hence, there is 80% decrease in the number of people visiting the zoo.
