Answer: 6 floors

Step-by-step explanation: Given that:

The first floor height = 25ft

Where each subsequent floor is 15 ft. tall.

Entry point on car window above horizontal = 12 in.

Distance from car window to victim = 42 in.

Distance from building to victim’s car = 350 ft.

Using similarity in angle method, we have

(25 + 15x)/350 = 12 in/42 in

Convert inches to feet by dividing the value by 12

(25 + 15x)/350 = 1/3.5

Cross multiply

3.5(25 + 15x) = 350

87.5 + 52.5x = 350

52.5x = 350 - 87.5

52.5x = 262.5

X = 262.5/52.5

X = 5

Therefore,

The floor number = 1 + 5 = 6 floors

70% of a number is 98.
hammer [34]
The solution is as follows:

Set up the proportion:

70% - 98
90% - x

70% / 90% = 98 / x

7 / 9 = 98 /x

(7 / 9) x = 98

x = 98 x 9/7

x = 14 x 9

x = 126

The answer is <span>D. 126.


I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>
