Jon’s weight loss for each week of the month is 5 lbs., 2.5 lbs., and 2.5 lbs. He gained 3.5 lbs. the last week. If Jon originally weighed 198 lbs., how much does he weigh now? *

191.5 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

His weight loss for each week of the month is:

Week 1: 5 lbs. Week 2: 2.5 lbs. Week 3: 2.5 lbs.     On the final week he gained 3.5 Ibs.

We know his original weigh was 198 lbs. So subtract 198 from 10 (sum from adding his weight loss). You get 188 lbs. Finally add the amount of pounds he gained on the final week. 188 lbs. + 3.5 lbs. = 191.5 lbs.
