Carla has lost 15% of her starting weight. If she has lost 24lbs what was her starting weight

15 can go into 100, as a whole, 6 times (90). So 24*6 equals 144.

Now how many times can 15 go into 10 (remainder) ? 2/3 of the way, right? 2/3 of 24 is 16. So 144+16=160.

Check:160*.15=24

So her starting weight is 160 lbs.
