3. People lose muscle mass as they age. Suppose a person lost 7% of their muscle mass between ages 50 and 60 (based on what they had at age 50) and 8% of their muscle mass from 60 to 70 (based on what they had at age 60). What percentage of the muscle mass that they had at age 50 have they lost by age 70? The following approach is INCORRECT! Explain why. The person lost 1% and then lost 8%. Since 1% + 8% =15%, they lost 15%. Explanation: Work: Answer the question, supporting your answer with work.
