Answer: You need to drop kg.

Type of calculation: Calculating the percentage value of a number (weight to lose).
How to use the calculator: Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the goal percentage 5 [X] and your current weight 80 [Y]. It will figure out 5% of 80 kg.
The formula:
We want to find 5% of 80 kg.
Formula: (Percentage / 100) × Whole
Weight to lose = (5 / 100) × 80 kg = 0.05 × 80 kg = 4 kg
