Question

After 3 Months on a diet, Lias had lost 27% of hwe original weight. She lost 46.71 pounds. What was Lisa's original weight?

Answer 1

Lisa's original weight was 172.9 pounds.

Explanation:

Let w be Lisa's original weight and l be the weight she lost. Since Lisa lost 27% of her original weight, we have:

0.27w = l

Substituting the known value of l, we get:

0.27w = 46.71

w = 46.71 / 0.27

w = 172.9

Thus, Lisa's original weight was 172.9 pounds.
