    Angela's current weight is 85% of her weight one year ago.

    Justification:

    Losing 15% means: x - 15% of x = x - (15/100) x = 0.15x = 0.85x.

    And 0.85x = (85/100) x which is what 85% of x means.

    Then, it has been shown that subtracting 15% yields 85% of the original amount.

    So, for Angela's case, that means that losing 15% of the weight leads her to weight 85% of what her original weight was.
