Answer:

Kendra's daughter is 14 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm reading this correctly, it says "plus 7 <em>more</em> years." I'm writing my equation based off that phrase being true.

Set up equation:

Variable x = daughter's age

x × 3 + 7 = Kendra

x × 3 + 7 = 49

3x + 7 = 49

3x = 42

x = 14

Check your work:

14 × 3 + 7 = 49

42 + 7 = 49

49 = 49

Correct!

Will is 34% taller than Wanda, so Will's height is ____% of Wanda's height.

The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!
