Darren is on a super effective diet. He has lost 16% of his weight this month. If he started with 75 kg, how much does he weigh now?

Answer:

63 kg

Explanation:

Since Darren lost 16% of his weight, this means he weighs

100-16 = 84% of what he used to.

84% = 84/100 = 0.84; this means Darren weighs

0.84(75) = 63 kg

16/100=0.16
0.16*75=12
75-12=63
