let the population in 1990 = 100, 1995 = 1.2*100 = 120
personal use 1990 = 160, Per capita use = 1.6
Personal use 1995 = 120, Per capita use = 1
change = (1.6-1)/1.6 = .37 ~ 37%
personal use 1990 = 160, Per capita use = 1.6
Personal use 1995 = 120, Per capita use = 1
change = (1.6-1)/1.6 = .37 ~ 37%
