Question

A man goes to a gym and loses 8% . If he lost 6 kg 560 g , find how much he weighed earlier.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the previous weight of the man be x.

Weight he lost by going to gym=8%of x=8/100*x=8x/100.

Weight after going to gym=6kg560gm=6*1000+560=6560g.

Therefore,

8x/100=6560

=x=6560*100/8

=x=820*100=82000g or 82 kg
