    I think I answered a question just like this the other day. To get the weight of the body fat, multiply the total body weight by the percentage of the body fat (as a decimal, which would be 0.15).

    So, you would do this:

    147x0.15=22.05

    The athlete's body contains 22.05 pounds of fat.
