Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.

This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.

The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:

= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000

= 16% + 34%

= 50%
