Question

mr.roxbury weighed 240 pounds when he started on a diet. over a one year period mr.roxbury lost 32% of his body weight. in the following year, he gained 15% back of his post diet body weight about how many pounds does mr.roxbury weigh after the two year leriod​

Answer 1

Answer: 187.68 pounds

Explanation:

Since Mr Roxbury lost 32% of his body weight, his body weight will be:

= 240 - (32% × 240)

= 240 - (0.32 × 240)

= 240 - 76.8

= 163.20 pounds

Since he later gained 15% back, we'll then add the value of 15% to his post diet body. This will be:

= 163.20 + (15% × 163.20)

= 163.20 + (0.15 × 163.20)

= 163.20 + 24.48

= 187.68 pounds

After the two years, he weighed 187.68 pounds.
