Answer 1

Answer:

D. 24 lb

Explanation:

Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks

First week she lost 3 pounds

Next week she gained 1 pound and did not lose any. This will be subtracted as she has gained a pound

The remaining 11 weeks she lost 2 pounds per week

Weight lost in the 11 weeks = 11×2 =22 pounds

Total weight lost

3-1+22 = 24 lb

Tina has lost 24 pounds in total during the 13 weeks
