    The city's income base fell by $80 million

    Explanation:

    If during 2004 the city was able to raise $20 million with a 5% income tax, then the city's income base was:

    ($20 million / 5) x 100 = $400 million

    If during 2005 the city was only able to raise $19.20 million with a 6% income tax, then the city's income base lowered to:

    ($19.20 million / 6%) x 100 = $320 million

    This means that the city's income base was reduced by $80 million ( = $400 million - $320 million)
