A monkey is trying to climb a coconut tree. He takes 3 steps forward and slips back 2 steps downward. Each forward step is 30 cm and each backward step is 40 cm. How many steps are required to climb a 100 cm tree?​

(30CM x 3) = 90CM

(40CM x 2) = 80 CM

90CM - 80CM = 10CM

Since the monkey is stepping up 10CM each time, it would take 10 steps to climb a 100CM tree.
