Answer:
61%
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We are changing the percent from 56 down to 22
2) This means that there will be a negative change in percent
3) This is because the new value (22) is smaller than the old value (56)
4) We must find the change from 56 to 22 in a percent
1) Find the difference between 56 and 22 as a number.
The difference between 56 and 22 is 34
2) Divide the result from Step 1 by the starting number 56.
34 ÷ 56 = 0.60714285714
3) Multiply the result from Step 2 by 100 to get it in terms of percent.
0.60714285714 x 100 = 60.71
4) Round the result from step 3 to the nearest percent.
60.71 ≈ 61%
Make sure you round to the nearest whole percent. In this case it would be 61%
