A person weighed themselves at 153 lb. Five months later they weighed themselves at 120 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 5 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
38%
22%
19%
29%
Correct Answer : B
The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:
Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight
Absolute change in weight= (left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)
Relative change in weight= (frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)
Percent change=relative change * 100%
Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%
The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.

Explanation
We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression. The order of operations is PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (in order from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (in order from left to right)
First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows
[3(6+5*4)]
We start with multiplication in parenthesis, 5*4=20. The expression becomes
[3(6+20)]
Then, we conduct the addition in parenthesis 6+20=26. Then, the expression becomes
[3(26)]=3*26=78
Now, we solve for denominator, which is 26/2=13.
Thus, the expression is reduced into
The expression reduces into 6.

To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.98 becomes 698/100
9.2 becomes 92/10
The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:
3/7*700=300
698/100*700=4886
10/7*700=1000
92/10*700=6440
In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:
3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.
Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.
