(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)
Answer
Final Answer: The absolute change in the per person consumption of meat from 2000 to 2020 is \(\boxed{37.3}\) pounds per person.
Step 1 ：Given that the per person consumption of meat in a certain country decreased from 80.6 pounds in 2000 to 43.3 pounds in 2020.
Step 2 ：The absolute change is the difference between the final value and the initial value.
Step 3 ：Let's denote the initial value as 80.6 and the final value as 43.3.
Step 4 ：Calculate the absolute change by subtracting the final value from the initial value: \(80.6 - 43.3 = 37.3\).
Step 5 ：Final Answer: The absolute change in the per person consumption of meat from 2000 to 2020 is \(\boxed{37.3}\) pounds per person.
