Answer 1

120%

Explanation:

actual height = 6 feet 63 inches

as 1 feet has 12 inches

6 feet = 72 inches

actual height = 72 + 63 inches = 135 inches

20% of actual height = 20% of 135

= 20/100 * 135 = 27

stated height = 135 + 27 = 162 inches

%age correction = stated age/actual age * 100

= 162/135 * 100

= 120%
