Answer:
[tex]= 56.3\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the percent of change from 55lbs to 24lbs.
This is given by
[tex] \frac{change}{initial \: value} \times 100\%[/tex]
We plug in values to get;
[tex]\frac{24 - 55}{55} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\frac{ - 31}{55} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex] = - 0.5634 \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex] = 56.34\%[/tex]
We round to the nearest tenth to get;
56.3%
