Question

Mr.Plump lost 30 pounds from his original weight of 240 pounds. What percent weight loss did her achieve?

Answer 1

12.5 because when you divide 30 by 240 you get 0.125 but all I had to do is move the decimals 2 spaces over and that would change the answer too 12.5

Answer 2

12.5%

Explanation:

I divided 30 (the amount he lost) by 240 (his original weight). I get 0.125, but need to move the decimal over 2 places to get the percentage.
