Question

17. Sylvia lost 15% of her body weight to get down to 136 pounds. How much

did she weigh before losing weight?

Answer 1

906.67pounds

Explanation:

let her original weight be x

so 15% of x gives 136pounds

that's

15/100*x= 136

15x/100= 136

15x gives 13600pounds

therefore x is 906.67 pounds
