Answer is 96.4% decrease

Step-by-step explanation

We know 55 times x % = 53

Our equation

55x = 53

53/55 = .9636…

Change to percent 96.36%

Round to tenth = 96.4%

Now check your work

55 x .964 = 53.02 rounded to 53

Answer proved correct

The number 55 is decreased to 53. What is the percentage by which the number was decreased, to the nearest tenth of a percent?
