Question

Ray’s weight increased by 11% in the last two years. If he gained 16.5 pounds, what was his weight two years ago?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

11/100 = 16.5/x

11x = 16.5(100)

11x = 1,650

(11x)/11 = (1,650)/11

x = 150

About time that he should start going to the gym!
