Answer:

x = 25% percent decrease

Explanation:

For this problem we will use percentage calculation and make proportion:

Initial value 56 points is worth 100%

Second value 56 - 42 = 14 points of decrease is worth x%

56 : 14 = 100 : x

When we multiply external and internal members we get:

56 · x = 14 · 100 => x = 1400/56 = 25%

x = 25% percent decrease

God with you!!!
