The answer: She now weighs 62 kg ("62 kilograms"); or; "6,200 g " .
__________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation: Note the exactly equivalent: 1 kg = 1,000 g.
(1 kilogram = 1,000 grams).
__________________________________________________
3,500 g = 3500/1000 kg = 3.5 kg.

65.5 kg − 3.5 kg = 62.0 kg .

62 kg = (62 *1000) g = 6,200 g .
