Last year, the patient weighed 190 kg. Ten months after surgery, the patient had lost 176 lb. The patient now weighs ________.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
110 kg
Convert pounds lost to kilograms:
2.2 lb : 1 kg = 176 lb : x
2.2 × x = 1 × 176
2.2x = 176
2.2x ÷ 2.2 = 176 ÷ 2.2
x = 80 kg
190 kg - 80 kg = 110 kg
