Answer:

The original number was 54.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.

In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".

Therefore, we do the opposite:

1. Convert to a decimal.

102.8% = 1.028

2. Divide by the decimal.

56 \div 1.028 = 54.47

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.

54.47 rounds to 54.5.
