Please help!! you might have to round​

Answer 1

Answer:

30% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for percent change is:

$\frac{original-new}{original}*100$

In this case, the original amount was 50 pounds and the new amount is 35 pounds.  Since the amount is decreasing, the percent change is a decrease and we can set up the following equation:

$\frac{50-35}{50}*100=30percent$
