The correct answer is "17 percent". In what is known as the Atlantic slave trade, hundreds of enslaved African people were transported to the Americans for trading purposes. Studies had been reported that approximately 1.2 – 2.4 million Africans died during their transport to the New World, which represents around 17 percent of the total transported slaves.
