1. **State the problem:** We need to find how many pounds of an individual's weight is made up of fat given a body fat percentage of 18.4% and a total weight of 126 pounds. 2. **Formula:** The weight of fat is calculated by multiplying the total weight by the body fat percentage (expressed as a decimal): $$\text{Fat weight} = \text{Total weight} \times \frac{\text{Body fat percentage}}{100}$$ 3. **Substitute the values:** $$\text{Fat weight} = 126 \times \frac{18.4}{100}$$ 4. **Calculate:** $$\text{Fat weight} = 126 \times 0.184$$ 5. **Multiply:** $$\text{Fat weight} = 23.184$$ 6. **Round to the nearest tenth:** $$\text{Fat weight} \approx 23.2$$ **Answer:** The individual has approximately 23.2 pounds of fat.
