What percentage of body weight did I lose?
Type of calculation: Calculating percentage decrease.
How to use the calculator: First, find your new weight (80 kg - 8 kg = 72 kg). Then use the Percentage Change CALCULATOR ("What is the percentage change from the Original value to the New value?"). Enter the starting weight 80 [Original] and the new weight 72 [New]. It will calculate the drop.
The formula:
First, let's get the new weight:
New weight = Old weight - Weight lost
New weight = 80 kg - 8 kg = 72 kg
Now, find the percentage change from 80 kg to 72 kg.
Formula: ((New weight - Old weight) / Old weight) × 100%
Percentage change = ((72 - 80) / 80) × 100% = (-8 / 80) × 100% = -0.1 × 100% = -10% (minus means weight loss)
Another way (using "Part-to-Whole Percentage CALCULATOR"): You can simply check what percentage 8 kg (loss) is of 80 kg (start weight). Use the Part-to-Whole Percentage CALCULATOR ("What percentage of Y is Z?"). Enter 80 [Y] and 8 [Z]. You get 10%. Since it's a loss, that's a 10% decrease.
