We can multiply the whole by the percentage to find the part. Since 15.9% is equal to 0.159, the weight of fat is 159*0.159 = 25.281. Round this to the nearest tenth, and we get 25.3 pounds.
Explanation: the total cost if the rental is a linear function of the number of days of the rental (x). Each day costs $25, so that is the slope of the line. Since there is also a one-time fee, independent of the number of days, this amount $50 represents a vertical shift of the line on the graph, by 50. y=25x+50 is an algebraic expression of that.
