Since the war has started, you have lost 1/4 of your total body weight. If you now weigh 150 lb, how much did you weigh when the war started?​

Answer:

200

Explanation:

1/4 of 150 would be 50
If you lost 1/4 of 200
200 - 50
You would get 150

Therefore your answer is 200

Also, think of it this way, if you lost 1/4 of your body weight, 150 is 3/4 of your entire body weight- so the other 1/4 would be 50
50 x 4 = 200
1/4 = 50
2/4 = 100
3/4 = 150
4/4 = 200
