30% decrease, 35/50=.7 or 70% but that is simply the part of the equation get the difference from 70% to 100% and you will get your percent of change. 

Answer:

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

then;

[tex]\text{Percent change} = \frac{\text{change in amount}}{\text{Original Amount}} \times 100[/tex]

Substitute the given values we have;

[tex]\text{Percent change} = -\frac{15}{50} \times 100[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\text{Percent change} = -30\%[/tex]

Therefore, percent of decrease is, 30%
