i believe it is 24.35 degrees celsius. i believe this because if you subtract the temperature on sunday 32.6 by the temperature number that they said changed -8.25 you get 24.35

For this case we have the following data:
Temperature on Sunday: 32.6 ° C
Temperature change: -8.25 ° C
Then, the temperature on Monday is given by:
Temperature on Monday = Temperature on Sunday + Change in temperature
Substituting values:
Temperature on Monday = 32.6 + (-8.25)
Temperature on Monday = 24.35 ° C
Answer:
the temperature on Monday was:
24.35 ° C
