Q #10: A person weighed themselves at 153 lb. Five months later they weighed themselves at 120 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 5 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
A. 38%
B. 22%
C. 19%
D. 29%
Answer Explanation
The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:
Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight
Absolute change in weight= (left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)
Relative change in weight= (frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)
Percent change=relative change * 100%
Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%
The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.
