The sum of a number b and 3 is greater than 8 and less than 12 => b + 3 < 8
=> b + 3 > 12

 Now, let’s combine this into an expression:
=> 8 < b+3 < 12
=> (8 - 3) 5

A stone is a British unit of weight equivalent to 14 pounds. After losing 1 1/2 stone. Jim is now 85% of his original weight. Wh

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Jim's current weight = 119 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Stone = 14 pounds

$1\frac{1}{2}$ stone = 1.5 stone

1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds

Jim lost 21 pounds

Let X be Jim's Original Weight

Y be his present weight

As per given statement in the Question:

After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y

Present weight = original weight - 21

Y = X -21 Equation 1

Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)

Y = 85 % (X) = $\frac{85X}{100}$

Y= $\frac{85X}{100}$

put in Equation 1

$\frac{85X}{100}$ = X-21

85X = (X-21) 100

85 X = 100 X -2100

2100 = 100 X - 85X

2100 = 15X

15 X = 2100

$X=\frac{2100}{15}$

X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)

Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 (From Equation 1)

Y = X -21

Y = 140 -21

Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
