Solve the problem.According to a recent survey, in 2000, 61% of households had one or more pets. Throughout the the next decade, this decreased by approximately 4% per year. Express the percentage of households having pets, P, as a function of the number of years after 2000, x.

A. P(x) = -0.04x + 61
B. P(x) = 0.61x - 0.04
C. P(x) = 0.04x + 0.61
D. P(x) = -0.04x + 0.61
