Question

Hamid has gained weight. He now weighs 88kg, which is 10% higher than his normal weight. What is his normal weight?

Please help, this question is on reverse percentage.

Answer 1

79.2kg

Explanation:

So first step is to find 10% of 88, which is 8.8. And 88kg is higher than his normal weight, so his original weight would be lower than 88kg. So you subtract. 88-8.8=79.2. His normal weight is 79.2kg.
