Answer:

Jorge's weight change was approximately 5%.

Marie's weight change was approximately 14%

Marie had the greater percent change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Marie's former weight = 175

New weight = 150

Difference = 175 - 150 = 25

Percentage change = 25/175 × 100

= 1/7 × 100

= 14.2%

Jorge's former weight = 190

Jorge's new weight = 180

Difference = 190 - 180 = 10

Percentage change = 10/190 × 100

= 5.26%

From the above explanation, the following are right:

• Jorge's weight change was approximately 5%.

• Marie's weight change was approximately 14%

• Marie had the greater percent change.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jorge’s weight change was approximately 5%.

Marie’s weight change was approximately 14%.

Marie had the greatest percent change.

Marie: 175-150 = 25

What percentage is 25 of 175 = x/100 = 25/175

= 14.29%

Jorge: 190-180= 10

What percent is 10 of 190? = x/100 = 10/190

= 5.3%
