Answer: 69kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total weight of the woman be represented by x. Based on the information given, we can derive an equation which will be:

55% of x = 38kg

55/100 × x = 38kg

0.55 × x = 38kg

0.55x = 38kg

Divide through by 0.55

x = 38kg/0.55

x = 69.09099

x = 69kg

Therefore, the woman's total weight is 69kg.
