Question

Will is 34​% taller than​ Wanda, so​ Will's height is​ ____% of​ Wanda's height.

Answer 1

Answer:

Will is 34% taller than Wanda, so Will's height is 134% of Wanda's height.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Will is 34% of Wanda's height, we can conclude that he has all of Wanda's height plus 34% of that height. All the height of Wanda represents 100% as it is referring to a complete system. From this we can conclude that Will is 100% more 34% of Wanda's height. Thus we can conclude that if Will is 34% higher than Wanda, then Will's height is 134% (100% + 34%) of Wanda's height.

Answer 2

The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!
