% WORD PROBLEM:
one author of this text exercises at the local YMCA, they recently offered a body fat percent to all the members. the authors body fat percentage was found to be 16.5% and weighs 191lbs. What part of his body weight in pounds is fat?

Convert the % to a decimal - what do you get?

Then multiply that by 191. That will give you the weight of the fat. (ewwww... lol)
