2 If Carlos gains 4.5 pounds of weight over the next 6 months, he will weigh 85.0 pounds. How much does Carlos weigh today? \[ \begin{array}{l}\text { F } 130.0 \text { pounds } \\ \text { G } 85.45 \text { pounds } \\ \text { H } 81.5 \text { pounds } \\ \text { J } 80.5 \text { pounds }\end{array} \]

To find Carlos's current weight, you can simply subtract the weight gain from his future weight. If he will weigh 85.0 pounds after gaining 4.5 pounds, his current weight is calculated as follows: Current Weight = Future Weight - Weight Gain Current Weight = 85.0 pounds - 4.5 pounds Current Weight = 80.5 pounds. So, the answer is J: 80.5 pounds. To make the math even more fun, think of it as a little before-and-after transformation story! Carlos adds those fun 4.5 pounds over 6 months, and voila! He pops up to 85 pounds, all while potentially indulging in some delicious snacks or meals! It's not just about the numbers, but about enjoying life and keeping things in balance.
