Question

At the start of Kerin's diet he weighed 13 stone 12 pounds. Three months later he weighed 12 stone 10 pounds. There are 14 pounds in a stone. Calculate the reduction in Kerins weight as a percentage of his inetial weight.

Answer 1

Beginning of diet, 13 stone 12 pounds

13(14) + 12 = 194

Three months later, 12 stone 10 pounds

12(14) + 10 = 178

He lost 16 pounds in 3 months

I'm not really sure what the percentage would be, but it might be 16%
