Question

Kaitlyn went on a diet and lost 8% of her body weight. She now weighs 222 pounds.

What was her original body weight?

Answer 1

To find Kaitlyn's original body weight, we need to determine how much weight she lost and add that amount back to her current weight.

Kaitlyn lost 8% of her body weight, which is equal to 8/100 * 222 pounds = <<8/100*222=17.76>>17.76 pounds.

Therefore, Kaitlyn's original body weight was 222 pounds + 17.76 pounds = <<222+17.76=239.76>>239.76 pounds.
