How do you calculate what percentage of body weight a person lost? What is the formula to find percent lost?

If a person weighed 241.1 lbs and ten weeks later weighed 210.6- what percent of their body weight did they loose? And how did you figure it? I have to figure 24 different ppls to discover who is the Biggest looser at work- and will win $440.00 so I want to be sure to do it right. Thanks!How do you calculate what percentage of body weight a person lost? What is the formula to find percent lost?
(1 - (210.6 / 241.1)) * 100 = 12.65%
