A report about the decline of Western investment in third world countries included this: "After years of daily flights, several European airlines halted passenger service. Foreign investment fell 250 percent during the 1990s." What is wrong with this​ statement?

If foreign investment fell by 100% it would be totally elimiated, so it not possible for it to fall by more than 100%.

Explanation:

Foreign investment occurs when a domestic investor purchases ownership of an asset which is in a foreign country.

Based on the information given, the statement that "Foreign investment fell 250 percent during the 1990s" is incorrect.
