Question

saurabh lost 1/6 of his weight due to illness. now he weighs 30 kg. what was his weight earlier?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer will be 36 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

1/6 of the initial wieght is lost;

wieght after weight loss = 30 kg;

Let his earlier weight be x.

Thus, 1/6 × (x) = y. (y = lost wieght)

y = x/6 kg;

x - y = 30 kg;

Thus, x - x/6 = 30 kg;

5x/6 = 30 kg;

x = 180/5;

x = 36 kg.

That's all.
