Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of upper primary pupils who took part in the sports meet in 2014 is 1760. It was decreased of 20% compared to 2015.

So that,

20% of 1760 = x 1760

Number of upper primary pupils who took part in the sports meet in 2015 = 1760 - 352

                   = 1408

Also,

5% of 1408 = x 1408

                  = 0.05 x 1408

                  = 70.4

Number of upper primary pupils who took part in the sports meet in 2016 = 1408 + 70.4

                           = 1478.4
