The short answer: 96 kilograms comes to 211.6437717 lb. That is 96 multiplied by 2.204622622, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 96 kg, BMI works out to 37.5 at 1.60 m, 33.2 at 1.70 m, 29.6 at 1.80 m and 26.6 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 1.644 lb past 210 lb, so if you need a round figure to quote, 210 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 96 that shortcut gives 211.2 pounds, off by 0.4438 pounds or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
