Answer:

Hi there!!

Your answer is:

166.05 lbs

OR

166 lbs and .8 ounces

Explanation:

This can be modeled by the equation:

135 + (.23× 135)= 166.05 lbs

STEPS TO DOUBLE CHECK:

135 = 100% of her bodyweight

/100 to determine 1% of bodyweight

1.35= 1%

Multiply by 23

1.35×23= 31.05lbs

31.05 + 135 = 166.05

Hope this helps!
