To calculate Bernardo's Body Mass Index (BMI), you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight in pounds} \times 703}{\text{height in inches}^2}
\]

Bernardo's weight is 220 lbs and his height is 6'0", which is 72 inches.

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{BMI} = \frac{220 \times 703}{72^2}
\]

Calculating \(72^2\):

\[
72^2 = 5184
\]

Now completing the BMI calculation:

\[
\text{BMI} = \frac{220 \times 703}{5184} \approx \frac{154660}{5184} \approx 29.84
\]

Therefore, Bernardo's BMI is approximately **29.8**.
