To find the percent decrease in Howard's quiz average, we can use the formula:

percent decrease = ((initial value - final value) / initial value) * 100

In this case, the initial value is 95% and the final value is 71%. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

percent decrease = ((95 - 71) / 95) * 100
= (24 / 95) * 100
= 0.2526 * 100
= 25.26%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the percent decrease in Howard's quiz average is approximately 25.26%.

To find the percent of decrease in Howard's quiz average, we need to calculate the difference between his first and second semester averages and then divide it by his first semester average.

First, let's calculate the difference between his first and second semester averages:

95% - 71% = 24%

Next, we will divide the difference by his first semester average:

(24% / 95%) * 100% ≈ 25.26%

Therefore, the percent decrease in Howard's quiz average is approximately 25.26%.
