Question

00:00 Dagne measures and finds that she can do a vertical jump that is 27.5% of her height. If Dagne can jump 13.2 inches, how tall is she? inches

Answer 1

Let x be her height

27.5% of x = 13.2

`(27.5)/(100)* x=13.2`
`(27.5x)/(100)=13.2`

Multiply both-side of the equation by 100

`27.5x\text{ = 1320}`

Divide both-side of the equation by 27.5

`x=48`

Hence, she is 48 inches tall
