Problema Solution
Jared Fogle credits his tremendous weight loss to exercise and a diet of low-fat Subway sandwiches. His current weight (about 187 pounds) is 44% of his maximum weight (reached in March of 1998). What did he weigh then?

44% of m is equal to his current weight of 187 lb
0.44*m = 187
by solving we find
m = 425 lb
