Aslam’s weight increased by 25% from year 2005 to 2010. If his weight was K kilograms in 2010. What was in 2005?

  • (A) 1.75 K
  • (B) 1.25 K
  • (C) 0.80 K
  • (D) 0.75 K
  • Solution: Aslam’s weight increased by 25% from 2005 to 2010.
  • Let Aslam’s weight in 2005 be x kg.
  • Aslam’s weight increased by 25%, so:
  • Weight in 2010 = Weight in 2005 + 25% of Weight in 2005
  • Weight in 2010 = x + 0.25x = 1.25x
  • Since 1.25x = K, then:
  • x = K/1.25 = 0.80K
