Answer:


8.97\text{ \%}

Step-by-step explanation: Over the summer, Nancy exercised daily, and her weight went 145 pounds to 132 pounds. we need to find the percent change:

Change in weight is:


145p-132p=13p

Change is percent is:


\frac{\text{ Change in Weight}}{\text{Original Weight}}*100=((13)/(145))*100=8.97\text{ \%}
