Correct Answer: 20.8%


Solution : The total number of trees planted in state B in 2015 and 2017 = 118 + 72 = 190
The total number of trees planted in state A in 2014, 2016, and 2017 = 70 + 78 + 92 = 240
The required percentage $=\frac{240–190}{240}\times 100=\frac{50}{240}\times 100=20.8$%
Hence, the correct answer is 20.8%.
