so, it went down from 28 to 7, meaning 28 - 7 = 21, 21 feet then.

now, if we take 28 to be the 100%, what is 21 off of it in percentage?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 28&100\\ 21&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{28}{21}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{21\cdot 100}{28}[/tex]
