Question 2 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007

Gina is weighing her lawn ornaments. Her flamingo weighs 4.168 pounds, and her garden gnome weighs 1.963 kilograms. There are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram. Which ornament is heavier, and by what percent?

Answer
A
The flamingo is 112.33% heavier than the gnome.
B
The flamingo is 89.06% heavier than the gnome.
C
The gnome is 45.36% heavier than the flamingo.
D
The gnome is 3.84% heavier than the flamingo.

Explanation

Convert the gnome’s weight to pounds: 1.963 × 2.20462 ≈ 4.328 pounds. That is about 0.160 pounds more than the flamingo’s 4.168 pounds. Compared with the flamingo, the gnome is (0.160 ÷ 4.168) × 100 ≈ 3.84% heavier, so the correct choice is “The gnome is 3.84% heavier than the flamingo.”
