20%
13%
11%
9%
Correct Answer : C
The question requires us to find the percentage change in weight of a person.
First, we need to find the change in weight over the 3 months
Change in weight= 180-160=20 lb
Percent change in weight is change of original weight *100. Thus
The percent change in weight is 11% to the nearest whole number.

We need to find the price changes in each day of the week in order to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
Monday’s price was $50.33
Tuesday’s price went up by $2.35 from Monday’s price. The price was $(50.33+2.35)=$52.68
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.07 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(52.68-1.07)=$51.61
Thursday’s price increased by $0.75 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(51.61+0.75)=$52.36
Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $52.36.

Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
4.25 becomes 425/100
4.4 becomes 44/10
Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
9/2*300=1350
425/100*300=1275
10/3*300=1000
44/10*300=1320
Comparing the obtained values from above, 1350 is the greatest followed by 1320, 12750, and 1000 in that order. The fraction 9/2 gave a value of 1350, which was the greatest value. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value from the given option.
You can also convert to decimals and compare which would give you the same answer.
