We have to find the percent of change :
50 pounds to 35 pounds
Original amount = 50 pound
New amount= 35 pounds
Since, New amount is less than the original amount,
this is a percentage of decrease.
Change in amount =35 -50 = -15 pound
percentage change= change of amount/original amount x 100
substitute the given values we have:
percentage change= -15/50 x 100
simplify:
percentage change= -30%
Therefore the decrease is 30%
