Answer 1

165 pounds- 7 months times 3 pounds=21
186 minus 21 = 165 pounds

Answer 2

The weight of Michael after 7 months = 165 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Weight of Micheal before diet = 186 pounds

Weight lose per month by diet = 3 pounds

What is his weight after 7 months = ?

Solution:

He loses 3 pounds in month so:

Total weight lose after 7 months = 7 * 3 = 21 pounds

Weight after 7 months = 186 - 21 = 165 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

His weight after diet was 186 pounds. Diet given by doctor helps in losing weight by 3 pounds per month.

So in 7 months total weight loss was 21 pounds.

So by subtracting 21 pounds from 186 gives the weight of Michael after 7 months which is 165 pounds.
