Question 699577: ben goes on a diet & changes her lifestyle. she loses 32% of her body weight. now she weighs 57.8 kg. what was her original weight Answer by Simnepi(216) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! since she has lost 32% of her body weight, she has 68% of it left!
This 68% is equal to 57.8kg.
Now we want to find out what 1% of her body weight is.
if we divide by 68 we will find 1%.
Since this is 1%, if we multiply by 100 we will find 100%!
So Ben originally weighed 85kg.
