Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent of decrease, you have to subtract the greater number from the smaller one, then divide it by the first number that comes in the sentence x 100. So, using that formula, we subtract 35 from 50 to get 15, then we do 15/50 x 100 to get 30 or 30%. I hope this helped you understand a little more about the percentage decrease.
