Answer 2

The correct answer is she can jump 13,2 inches high.

Explanation:

Well, let's start by analyzing the information they have given us.

We know the height of Dagne, which is 48 inches. She has discovered that she can jump 27.5% high from her height.

Now we just have to find out how much is 27.5% of 48.

One of the ways to do this is to multiply the height by the percentage, and divide it by 100:

(48.27.5): 100 =

1320: 100 = 13.20.

In this way we can say that the height that Dagne can jump is 13.2 inches.
