What was the percent decrease in the price

What was the percent decrease in the price of MegaTek (MGTK) stock during the market decline of March 1, 2001, to March 1, 2002?

(1) The price of MGTK was $56.20 on March 1, 2001.
(2) The price of the stock on January 1, 2002, was only one-quarter of its price as of March 1, 2001.

The Official Answer is E.

Why statement (2) is not sufficient? Experts, I don't have it clear.
