Answer to Question 1

75

Global Rationale: To determine the percent of change, use the equation fraction of change is equal to the change divided by the original number. For this situation the equation would be the fraction of change = 1500/2000 or 75.

Answer to Question 2

33 lbs

Global Rationale: The client currently weight 220 lbs. Convert 15 to the decimal equivalent of 15/100 or 0.15. Then, multiply 220 x 0.15 = 50. The healthcare provider wants the client to lose 33 lbs.
