Understanding

Application

Fall = Initial value – Final value

Fall from 7 July to 14 July

= 180 – 145 = 35

Fall from 21 July to 28 July

= 155 – 160 = –5

Fall from 30 June to 7 July

= 142 – 180 = –38

Fall from 28 July to 4 August

= 160 – 150 = 10

Therefore, fall in the number is greatest from 7 July to 14 July.
