Following her doctor’s recommendation to up her daily water intake, Nancy now drinks the equivalent of 60% of her body weight in water. If Nancy’s daily water intake is 54 pounds, how much, in pounds, does she weigh?
Define a variable ** Let Nancy’s weight be x
How many pounds of water does Nancy drink? ** We know that 60/100 * x = 54 pounds
How much does Nancy weigh? ** This translates to x= 54*100/60 = <<54*100/60=90>>90 pounds
#### 90
