Question

Jim weighed 225 pounds. After dieting and exercising, he lost 16% of his weight. How many pounds does Jim now weigh?

Please answer quick I need the help​

Answer 1

Answer: 189 pounds

Explanation:

If he lost 16% of his weight, Jim is now 84% of his original weight.

84% = 0.84

225 x 0.84

189 pounds

Answer 2

New weight = 225 x (1 - (16 / 100)) = 225 x 0.84 = 189 pounds.

So, after dieting and exercising, Jim now weighs 189 pounds.
