Question

Pratibha reduced her weight by 15% if now she weights 59.5 kg what was her earlier weight

Answer 1

her weight earlier -->

15 % of 59.5 = 8.925 kg

therefore total weight =  59.5 + 8.925 = 68 . 425


       hope this helps u...........

Answer 2

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 ] .

Hope it helps !!
