Correct Answer: 64.2%


Solution : Given: The production of salt in 2003 was 70.
The production of salt in 2004 was 25.
The percentage decline in the production of salt from 2003 to 2004
= $\frac{\text{Production of salt in 2003 – Production of salt in 2004}}{\text{Production of salt in 2003}}×100$
= $\frac{(70-25)}{70}×100$
= $\frac{45}{70}\times100$
= $64.2$%
Hence, the correct answer is 64.2%.
