A person weighed 180 lb. Three months later, they weighed 160 lb. What is the percentage of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
Select the best answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the percentage of weight lost, subtract the final weight from the initial weight, divide by the initial weight, and multiply by 100. In this case: (180 - 160) / 180 * 100 = 20%, which rounds to the nearest percent as 20%. Therefore, the person lost 20% of their initial weight over the three months. This calculation represents the relative decrease in weight from the initial weight to the final weight, indicating that the person lost 20% of their initial weight during the three-month period.
