Question

Darren is on a super efficient diet. He started with 210 pounds 2 months ago and he now weighs 150 pounds . Find his percent of decrease.

Answer 1

Answer:

29%

Step-by-step explanation:

210-150/210 = 60/210 or 6/21

Now we have to find the percent out of 100 so we have to find out 100/21 to see what we have to multiply by to get to 100 so we can do the same with the 2 (numerator) so 1000/21= 4 16/21

then we have to multiply the 6 by 4 16/21 which is about 29%
