Todd's wieght went from 220 lbs to 190 lbs and Cassidy's wighte went from 150 lbs t?o 135 lbs. Who had the greater percentage of weight loss
Compare 15/150 (a 10% weight loss) with 30/220.
Take the one with the greatest percentage (or fractional) loss.
To determine who had the greater percentage of weight loss, we need to calculate the percentage change in weight for both Todd and Cassidy.
To calculate the percentage change, we use the formula:
Percentage Change = [(Final Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value] * 100
Let's plug in the values:
For Todd:
Initial Weight (Initial Value) = 220 lbs
Final Weight (Final Value) = 190 lbs
Percentage Change for Todd = [(190 - 220) / 220] * 100
For Cassidy:
Initial Weight (Initial Value) = 150 lbs
Final Weight (Final Value) = 135 lbs
Percentage Change for Cassidy = [(135 - 150) / 150] * 100
Now, let's calculate the percentage change for both Todd and Cassidy.
