Answer: 21.9 pounds of his weight is made up of fat.

Explanation:

The total weight of the individual is 129 pounds. The individual has a body fat percentage of 17.7%.

Therefore, the number of pounds of his body that is made up of fat would be

17.7/100 × 129 = 0.177 × 129 = 21.93 pounds.

Approximating to the nearest tenth, it becomes 21.9 pounds.
