Assume that 40 percent of X is 55

<span>0.4 X = 55 </span>
<span>X = 55 / 0.4 </span>
<span>X = 137.5 </span>
<span>55 is 40 percent of 137.5</span>

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

1.167x = 10*119

x = \frac{1190}{1.167}

x = 1020

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
