Answer 1

Percentage Decrease `color(green)(approx 70.45%`

Explanation:

To find the percent change, we first need to understand the percent change formula

Percent Change= (Change in Value/Original Value)`times 100`

The change in value = `88-26 = 62`

And the original value = `88`

As the quantity has DECREASED, we get the percentage decrease as: `(62/88) times 100 = (31/44) times 100 color(green)(approx 70.45%`
