Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A full can of tuna has a certain amount in it, if a portion is removed from the can it is therefore subtracted from the total amount. This means that Joey's work is correct and the tuna can would have

5.5 oz - 2.88 oz = 2.62 oz

The best way to tell if his work is correct would be to weigh the remaining tuna in the can and see if it matches Joey's answer.
