Arthur's dog, Shep, used to weigh158 pounds. The vet put him on a diet and he lost 13% of his weight. To the nearest pound, how much does Shep weigh now A
If he lost 13% of his weight, he must must weigh (100 - 13)% = 87% of what he used to....
So......to find the "new" weight......just multiply 158 x .87........!!!
