E) $160

Explanation:

The computation is presented below:

Given that

Sales declining percentage = 20%

And this week the sales amounted to $200

So, by considering the above information, the forecast for the next week is

= Sales for this week - sales for this week * Sales declining percentage

= $200 - $200 * 20%

= $200 - $40

= $160
