mediumA scientist has been removing an invasive species of plant from a city. The function P models the number of these plants, in hundreds, in the city t years after 2015, where m is a positive constant.
P(t) = 124(m)^t
According to the model, the number of these plants in the city is predicted to decrease by k% every year, where 0 < k < 100. Which expression gives the value of k in terms of m?

A
m/100 - 1
B
-100(m + 1)
C
1 - m/100
D
100(1 - m)
