Question

the width of a singles tennis court is 75% of the width of a double score a double score is 36 feet wide how wide is the singles court

Answer 1

From the information we have, singles court is 75% of double score.

So we will say that the double score width is 100%.

we now form an equation

100% = 36

75% = x

where x is the width of singles court.

100% can be written as 100/100 which is equivalent to 1

75% can be written as 75/100 which is equivalent to 0.75

Therefore

1 = 36

0.75 = x

Cross multiply the equation:

1 * x = 0.75 * 36

x = 27

There the singles court is 27 feet wide.
