Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

Leila, Charlie, and Joe have a total of $144 in their wallets. Joe has 4 times what Leila has. Charlie has $6 more than Leila. H
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The amounts of money each has are:

Joe = $92

Charlie = $29

Leila = $23

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will convert the statements into an equation, and use that to solve for the unknowns, as follows:

total amount = $144

Let Leila's share be S

Joe's share = 4 times Leila's = 4S

Charlie's share = $6 + Leila's share = 6 + S

Joe's share + Charlie's Share + Leila's Share = $144

4S + (6 + S) + S = 144

4S + 6 + S + S = 144

4S + 2S + 6 = 144

6S + 6 = 144

6S = 144 - 6 = 138

S = 138 ÷ 6 = $23

Therefore Leila's share 'S' = $23

Joe share= 4S = 4 × 23 = $92

Charlie's share = 6 + 23 = $29
