Answer:
x = 25% percent decrease
Step-by-step 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
