Solution

Total percent of water content in the human body $= 70 %$

Weight of a person $= 56 k g$

So, the quantity of water in a person whose weight is $56 k g = \frac{70}{100} \times 56$

$= 392 / 10$

$= 39.2 k g$

Therefore, $39.2 k g$ is the weight of water in the body of a person whose body weight is $56$ kg
