% Body fat = \"+%28-98.42+%2B+4.15w+-+%280.082%2Ab%29%29%2F%28b%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "% Body fat = \"+%28-98.42+%2B+4.15%2832%29+-+0.082%28156%29%29%2F%28156%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "% Body fat = \"+%28-98.42+%2B+132.8+-+12.792%29%2F%28156%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "% Body fat = \"+%2821.588%29%2F%28156%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "% Body fat = \"+0.138+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given the formula, what i have done is correct. However, with the question saying round to nearest integer, i do not think my answer is correct. So i am just questioning the equation being correct.\r
