Question

A ball falls, rebounds to 72% of its previous height and falls again. After two bounces, the ball reached a height of 25cm. From what height was the ball dropped originally?

Answer 1

48.2
25/72=.3472×100=34.72/72=.4822×100=48.2

Answer 2

Max Height after first bounce = 25/0.72 = 34.72cm
Original Height from which the ball was dropped = 34.72/0.72 = 48.22 cm (2 decimal places)
