Answer:

61% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease, take the original amount and subtract the new amount.  Then divide by the original amount.  Multiply by 100%

original amount :56

New amount :22

original - new = 56-22 = 34

(original - new)/original = 34/56 =.607142857

Multiply by 100% = .607142857* 100% = 60.7142857%

To the nearest percent = 61%

Answer:

61% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to find the difference between the original amount and the current amount which is

56- 22= 34

Then you do 34 over the original amount which is

34/56

Then you put x over 100

x/100

Now you have 34/56 and x/100

Now you do cross product property

34*100=3400

56*x=56x

56x=3400

Divide 3400 by 56 which is 60.71

Round to the nearest percent 61%
