Arthur's dog, Shep, had to go on a diet. After three months of dieting, Shep had lost 16% of his weight, which was 24 pounds. How much did Shep weigh before he was put on a diet?

Respuesta :

Answer: 150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her initial weight be represented by x.

Since Shep had lost 16% of his weight, which was 24 pounds. Shep weight before he was put on a diet would be:

16% × x = 24

0.16 × x = 24

0.16x = 24

x = 24/0.16

x = 150 pounds
