The percentage weight loss was 16.25%.

Explanation:

The weight loss amounts to 160-134=26 pounds.

The percentage weight loss (x) is calculated as:

160xxx/100=26

Multiply both sides by 100/160.

x=26xx100/160

x=26xx(10cancel0)/(16cancel0)

x=13cancel26xx10/(8cancel16)

x=130/8

x=(65cancel130)/(4cancel8)

x=16.25
