Answer: 29.41 pounds

Explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- The fat percentage that the person has is 17.2%

- The person weighs 171 pounds.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of pounds of her weight is made up of fat (which you can call x), you must multiply the weight of the person by the fat percentage.

Therefore, you obtain the following result:


x=171lb*0.172\\x=29.41lb
