The answer to this is:

Jorge's weight percent decrease is (190-180)÷190, or amount of change/original amount. Simplified, 10 ÷ 190 = 5.2637157894...%, approximately equal to 5%. The first option is correct. Marie's percent decrease is (175-150)÷175. Simplified, that is 25÷175 = 14.2857142857...%, which is about 14%. The second option is correct. Clearly, we can tell that Marie had the greater percent change, about 14% to about 5%. Also clearly, Jorge did not have the greater percent change, so we can tell Option 4 is wrong. We already know that Jorge's change is about 5% and Marie's is about 14%, so they can't be about 0.5% or about 1.4%. Options 5 and 6 are incorrect. The correct answers are 1, 2, and 3.
