Question

Madelyn jokes 190.5 meters up a mountain . I’d she is 62 percent of the way up how tall is the mountain?

Answer 1

The mountain is 307.26 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance jogged by Madelyn = 190.5 meters

This represents 62 percent of total height of mountain.

Let,

x be the height of mountain.

62% of x = 190.5

$\frac{62}{100}*x=190.5\\0.62x=190.5$

Dividing both sides by 0.62

$\frac{0.62x}{0.62}=\frac{190.5}{0.62}\\x=307.258$

Rounding off to 2 decimal places

x = 307.26 meters

The mountain is 307.26 meters tall.
