Question

Jane is standing at the base of a 6300ft tall mountain. If she climbs 15% of the remaining height each day, how many feet will she climb in 4 days

Answer 1

Answer:

Total ft climbed= 3,011.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total ft= 6,300

Climbing rate= 15% of the remaining height per day

Total ft climbed per day:

Day 1= 6,300*0.15= 945

Day 2= (6,300 - 945)*0.15= 803.25

Day 3= (5,355 - 803.25)*0.15= 682.76

Day 4= (4,551.75 - 682.76)*0.15= 580.35

Total ft climbed= 3,011.36
