Between Monday to Tuesday, the number of tickets sold decreased the greatest.
To show:
Decrease in the number of bird park tickets sold from Monday to Tuesday
= 3800 - 1400

Increase in the number of bird park tickets sold from Tuesday to Wednesday
= 4400 - 1400

Decrease in the number of bird park tickets sold from Wednesday to Thursday
= 4400 - 3400
