Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in finding how much the quantity decreased. We do a subtraction:

\(80-64=16\)

and now we must know how much percentage is 16 of 80, for this we divide:

\(\frac{16}{80}=\frac{1}{5} = 0.2\)

and finally we convert this decimal value to a percentage multiplying by 100%

0.2(100%) = 20%

the quantity decreased by 20%
