I need to find the percent for this. Can anyone help?

Find the percentage change.
From 54.8 grams to 24 grams. State whether the change is an increase or decrease. Show all work. Can someone help?

% change = [tex]\frac{\text{new}-\text{old}}{\text{old}}\times100=\frac{24-54.8}{54.8}\times100=\boxed{-56.2\%}[/tex]
