As incidence of the plague decreased in the late fifteenth century, populations swelled, creating a new demand for goods and services. Can someone put this on there own sentence

Answer:

Due to the high number of deaths and the subsequent population reduction, the merchants - and tradespeople in general - saw a decrease in the sales of their merchandise. Once the number of infected people by the plague reduced was reduced at the end of the Fifteenth Century, the population grew exponentially, thus creating a higher demand for services and goods.
