Answer :
101.76 kg
======================
Let's denote Karen's original weight as x. Given that she lost 15% of her original weight, we have:
- 0.85 x = 86.5
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.85:
- x = 86.5 / 0.85
- x ≈ 101.76 kg
Karen's original weight was approximately 101.76 kg.
