Todds weight dropped from 220 pounds to 190 pounds. Cassidys weight dropped from 150 pounds to 135 pounds. Who had the greater percent weight loss?
Todd weight
(220-190)/220 *100 = 13.64%
Cassidy weight
(150-135)/150 * 100 = 10%
Compare them who have greater percent loss
To find out who had the greater percent weight loss, we need to determine the percent decrease in weight for both individuals.
Let's start with Todd:
1. Calculate the weight loss for Todd: 220 pounds - 190 pounds = 30 pounds.
2. Calculate the percent weight loss for Todd: (weight loss / initial weight) * 100% = (30 pounds / 220 pounds) * 100% ≈ 13.64%.
Next, let's calculate the weight loss for Cassidy:
1. Calculate the weight loss for Cassidy: 150 pounds - 135 pounds = 15 pounds.
2. Calculate the percent weight loss for Cassidy: (weight loss / initial weight) * 100% = (15 pounds / 150 pounds) * 100% = 10%.
Comparing the percent weight loss, we find that Todd had a greater percent weight loss (13.64%) than Cassidy (10%). Therefore, Todd had the greater percent weight loss.
