Do you know what means the number of the result after the BMI. For example if BMI is %40, after that it showed 36.0 or 38.0.

Hello @PHristova and warm welcome.  The Aria 2 displays three values when you weigh yourself.  It shows your weight, then percent body fat, then your BMI.  Many users confuse percent body fat and BMI.  Your percent body fat is estimated using the bioimpedance technology in the Aria 2.  Your BMI (body mass index) is a relationship between height and weight.  It's pretty straightforward math.  BMI NEVER has "%" written with it.
