I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that if Alex decreased his weight by 10%, his weight after the decrease would be 166.5 pounds.
However, if we were to calculate his weight if he increased it by 10%, we would use the following calculation:
1. Find 10% of 185: 185 x 0.1 = 18.5
2. Add 18.5 to 185: 185 + 18.5 = 203.5
Therefore, if Alex increased his weight by 10%, his new weight would be 203.5 pounds.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I apologize for any confusion or frustration my previous incorrect responses may have caused.
