Answer:
Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight that Jon gained in December = 2.2 kilograms
Weight that Jon lost in January = 1.5 kilograms
Weight that Jon lost in February = 3.7 kilograms
Overall Change in his weight = Total Weight he gained - Total weight he Lost
Total weight he gained is 2.2 kilograms as he only gained weight in December. Total weight he lost will be sum of weights he lost in January and February.
So, total weight Jon lost = 1.5 + 3.7 = 5.2 kilograms
Thus,
Total change in Jon's Weight = 2.2 - 5.2 = -3.0 kilograms
This shows that Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.
Conclusion:
The statement that best describe the total change in his weight is: Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months
