Answer:

So, his normal weight is 80 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his normal weight be x

If the normal weight               increasing percent         now weighs

       100                                               10                                 110

         x                                                  10                                88

Now we can get a equation as,

[tex]100 = 110\\x = 88[/tex]

We can write this as a fraction

[tex]\frac{100}{x} = \frac{110}{88}[/tex]

You can use cross multiplication to solve this

[tex]88*100=110x\\8800=110x\\\frac{8800}{110} =\frac{110x}{110} \\80kg = x[/tex]

Hope this helps you.
