A measure of malnutrition, called the pelidisi, varies directly as the cube root of a persons weight

Question:

A measure of malnutrition, called the pelidisi, varies directly as the cube root of a person’s weight in grams and inversely as the person’s sitting height in centimeters. A person with a pelidisi below 100 is considered undernourished, while a pelidisi greater than 100 indicates overfeeding. A person who weighs 48,820 g with a sitting height of 78.7 cm has a pelidisi of 100. Find the pelidisi (to the nearest whole number) of a person whose weight is 54,430 g and whose sitting height is 88.9 cm. Is this individual undernourished or overfed?
