This is how to solve it

To increase or decrease an amount by a percentage, first calculate the percentage of the amount and then either add this answer on to increase the quantity, or subtract this answer to decrease the quantity.

decrease 56kg by 35% = 36.4kg

This is how to solve it

35% of 56kg = 35 × 56 ÷ 100

= 19.6

decrease 56kg by 35% = 56 - 19.6

= 36.4

Hope this helps

The answer is from a student in Cambridge, you can count on me :>
