Question

Prathibha reduced her weight by 15%.If now she weighs 59.5kg,what was her earlier weight?

Answer 1

Answer:

70 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Weight reduced by Pratibha =15%

Present weight of Pratibha =59.5 kg

Consider her original weight =100

Reduced weight =100−15=85%

Here

85% of her original weight = 59.5 kg

So her original weight = (59.5×100)/85

By further calculation

=0.7×100

=70kg
