Two less than a number is 10

1 answer:

4 0

X-2=10
or
10=x-2
this is because it says "2 less than a number is 10" so we can infer that 2 is less than a number (x) so knowing that less than means subtract x-2=10 or you can put it as 10=x-2

Sandra is 4 feet tall. Pablo is 10% taller than Sandra and Michaels is 8% taller than Pablo. What is Michael height in feet

taurus [48]

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.
