88% Current ratio states the ratio to be 0.88:1 ie. for for every 1 unit of current liability to pay, the company has only 0.88 unit of its current assets.This shows that the company is not in a good state of being solvent. Current ratio should be of 2:1 (or 200%). 88% current ratio reflects bad image of company regarding its sovency.

B- try to attain more short termresources                                                           cr ratio = cr assetes/ cr debts, sice it s less than 1 so cr debts are more than cr assetes

Current ratio is a ratio and not a percentage. The intrepretation of the ratio might depend on the industry since the normal value for each industry may vary. Normally, it should be above1. Since, it indicates the company's position to pay off the debts using its current assets.
