sally went on a diet and now weighs 138 pounds. she lost 12 pounds total. what is the
percent decrease of the weight she lost?
f 10%
g. 12%
• h. 8%
j. 6%

H. 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

you do the part divided by the total first..

12/138 = 0.08(0.08 is a rounded answer)

now you do the answer times 100

0.08... x 100 = 8%

the correct answer is 5

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
