Question

The human body is made up mostly of water. In fact, about 67% of a person’s total body weight is water. If Jyoti weights 56 kg, how much of her weight is water?

Solution

Given, weight of jyothi = 56 kg

Where 67% of a person’s total body weight is water

⇒ Now, x% of `n = x/100 xx n`

⇒ Water in jyoti body = `67/100 xx 56`

= `3752/100`

= 37.52 kg

Hence, 37.52 of her weight is water.
