Question

James is getting ready for wrestling season. As part of his preparation, he plans to lose 5% of his body weight James currently weighs 100 pounds How much will he weigh, in pounds, after he loses 5% of his weight​

Answer 1

Multiply 100 pounds by 5%: 100 x 0.05 = 5 pounds.

Subtract that from the original weight:

100 - 5 = 95

He will weigh 95 pounds

Answer 2

Answer:

95 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

5% as a decimal is 0.05 (because it is written as five one hundredths)

0.05x100=5  this represents how much he will lose

100-5=95

he will weigh 95 pounds
