We first calculate Pablo's height
4 = 100%x = 1% (Where x is 1% of Sandra's height.)
cross multiplying the equation, we get:
100x = 4 → x = 4/100 → x = 0.04
If 1% = 0.04, then 10% will be 0.04 × 10 = 0.4
Pablo's height is 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 feet
Now we repeat the above steps to get Michal's height from Pablo's height
4.4 = 100%x = 1%
so:
100x = 4.4 → x = 4.4/ 100 → x = 0.044
If 1% = 0.044, then 8% will be 0.044 × 8 = 0.35
Michael's height is 4.4 + 0.35 = 4.75 feet.
I hope this helps.
