Question

Find percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. 55lbs to 24lbs

Answer 1

Answer:

$= 56.3\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the percent of change from 55lbs to 24lbs.

This is given by

$\frac{change}{initial \: value} \times 100\%$

We plug in values to get;

$\frac{24 - 55}{55} \times 100\%$

$\frac{ - 31}{55} \times 100\%$

$= - 0.5634 \times 100\%$

$= 56.34\%$

We round to the nearest tenth to get;

56.3%
