Question

Frannie currently weighs 41 pounds. The vet would like to see her weigh 36 pounds. What percent of her body weight does she need to lose?

Answer 1

Frannie’s vet would like her to lose 12% of her body weight. You find this by subtracting 41-36=5 and then finding that .12x41 also equals 5, therefore 12% of 41 is 5.
