Question

11. Pratiba reduced her weight by 15%. If now she weighs
59.5kg, what was her carlier weight

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Pratibha's original age be x .

Reduced % = 15 %

Reduced weight = 15 x / 100 = 3 x / 20 .

There fore , new weight = x - 3x / 20 = 17 x / 20 .

So , according to the question ,

59.5 = 17 x / 20

=> x = 59 .5 * 20 / 17 ,

=> x = 3.5 * 20 ,

=> x = 70 . [ Answer ] .
