Step-by-step explanation:
In 10 years, the population dropped to 0.88 of what it was in 2010. At the same rate, in 20 more years, it will drop to 0.88² of what it was in 2020:
2040 population = 440,000·0.88² ≈ 340,000
So first we want to say, 8 out of the 40 flowers were perennials.
8 out of 40 is 8/40, or simplified down to 1/5.
1/5 in percentage form is 20% because 1 divided by 5 = 20%.
