Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1: 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 = 85/100 or 85.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: The client currently weight 250 lbs. Convert 20 to the decimal equivalent of 20/100 or 0.20. Then, multiply 250 x 0.20 = 50. The healthcare provider wants the client to lose 50 lbs.
