# wrong
there is a decline of readership of 41.4%
24% less of the population now read a paper

# the question doesn't state whether its readership or population
just asks for the decline, so both are right

# Mighty Nibus asked for the decline.
And clearly demonstrated the ability to subtract 34 from 58, so I'm pretty sure the answer to his question is 41.4%.
If it's for a presentation, he probably shouldn't say 'it is both 41.4 AND 24 percent'.

# so because he got 24%
the answer must be 41.4%? Nibus I think he's calling you thick

okay, let's split the difference - the answer is 32.7%

# I can't decide
if you know I'm being silly or if you're getting wound up

# I can't decide if you think 32.7 was a serious sugestion :)
edit for clarity: no, I wasn't taking it seriously - I'm glad I correctly assumed that you weren't either.
Nibus clearly lost interest some time ago...
