The distance from 68 miles to 42.5 miles decrease .

The Percentage of change is 37.5% .

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage\ change = (Change\ in\ value* 100)/(Initial\ value)`

Where

Change in value = |Final value - Initial value|

As given

68 miles to 42.5 miles .

Thus the distance decrease .

Final value = 42.5 miles

Initial value = 68

Change in value = |42.5 - 68|

Change in value = |-25.5|

Change in value = 25.5

Putting all values in the formula

`Percentage\ change = (25.5* 100)/(68)`

`Percentage\ change = (25500)/(68* 10)`

`Percentage\ change = (25500)/(680)`

Percentage change = 37.5 %

Therefore the Percentage of change is 37.5% .
