Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rate 2020 - 2022

From 2020 (70) to 2022 (20), time = 2 years.
Rate = $\frac{70 - 20}{2} = \frac{50}{2} = 25$ per year.

Step2: Calculate rate 2021 - 2024

From 2021 (40) to 2024 (25), time = 3 years.
Rate = $\frac{40 - 25}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5$ per year.

Step3: Compare rates

25 > 5, so 2020 - 2022 has greater decrease rate.

Answer:

between 2020 and 2022
