The short answer: 35 kilograms comes to 77.16179176 lb. That is 35 multiplied by 2.204622622, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 35 kg, BMI works out to 13.7 at 1.60 m, 12.1 at 1.70 m, 10.8 at 1.80 m and 9.7 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 2.162 lb past 75 lb, so if you need a round figure to quote, 75 lb is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 2.204622622. At 35 that shortcut gives 77 pounds, off by 0.1618 pounds or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
