Weight and Mass:
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, a smaller mass means a smaller gravitational force.
Since weight is a force, what would be its unit of measure?
Newton (N) = kg m/s2
If your weight is 500N on earth, would it be the same on the moon?
hint: the moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's gravity
It is important to understand that weight varies according to the force of gravity, and mass is a constant.
Weight = mass x gravity (w = m x g)

F = MA
Weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity.
Rearrange the equation. F/A = M
Assuming the person was weighed on earth, the A = 9.8 (m/(s^2))
500/9.8 = 51.02 Kg

Newtons are force, Kg Meters per Second I think.
Mass would only be Kg.

Using the formula F=m*g we get m=F/g
So in order to answer the question we have to know the value of g, which depends on the gravitational field. You are most probably referring on the gravitational field of earth so we can use the value of 9.81m/sec^2 which results in m=50,968 kgr.

W =mg
hence m = W/g
m = 500N/9.8m/s^2
m = 51.02kg
or if you take g = 10m/s^2
the answer comes out to be 50kg
