Question

But, during the same summer, teachers stopped wearing high heels; each of them became 4% shorter. Copy and fill in the chart.

Answer 1

We are given that,

'When the teachers stopped wearing heels, they became 4% shorter'.

Thus, we will have,

Height without heels = Height with heels - 4% of height with heels

and

Height with heels = Height without heels + 4% of height without heels

So, we get the final table as,

Height with Heels Height without Heels

Ms. Mathey 190 cm 190-4% of 190

= 190-7.6 = 182.4 cm

Mrs. Meansy 162.5 cm 162.5-4% of 162.5

= 162.5-6.5 = 156 cm

Ms. Cool 140 cm 140-4% of 140

= 140-5.6 = 134.4 cm

Miss Short 155.1+4% of 155.1

= 155.1+6.2 = 161.3 cm 155.1 cm

Miss Lora 159.8+4% of 159.8

= 159.8+6.4 = 166.2 cm 159.8 cm
