A quick rule for your head

Halve the pounds, then take away 10% of that: 190 ÷ 2 = 95, and 95 − 9.5 = 85.5 kg. The rule is about 0.8% low — here 0.68 kg. Halving alone (95 kg) is 8.82 kg too high. On a metric scale with one decimal, 190 lb shows as 86.2 kg. For smaller weights, use ounces to grams.
