Answer:
x = 25% percent decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we will use percentage calculation and make proportion:
Initial value 56 points is worth 100%
Second value 56 - 42 = 14 points of decrease is worth x%
56 : 14 = 100 : x
When we multiply external and internal members we get:
56 · x = 14 · 100 => x = 1400/56 = 25%
x = 25% percent decrease

It's A.
Rae made the error when she added 7.
the equation should be:
<span>-14 - 7 = 7x + 7 - 7 </span>
Given:
savings 12% of her salary.
savings $4,200
This year's salary: x + 3,000
Last year's salary: x
4,200 represents 12% of her salary.
4,200 / 12% = 35,000 is her salary this year.
x + 3,000 = 35,000
x = 35,000 - 3,000
x = 32,000 her salary last year.
