Correct Answer: $22\frac{6}{7}$%


Solution : Number of accidents in May = 35
Number of accidents in June = 27
The decrease in the number of accidents = 35 – 27 = 8
Required percentage = $\frac{\text{The decrease in the number of accidents}}{\text{The number of accidents occurred in May}}\times 100=\frac{8}{35}\times 100 =\frac{160}{7}=22\frac{6}{7}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $22\frac{6}{7}$%.
