Answer: Teacher's name Height with the heels Height without the heels Ms. Mathey 190 cm cm Mrs. Meansy 162.5 cm cm Ms. Cool 140 cm cm Miss Short cm 155.1 cm Ms. Lora cm 159.8 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that,

'When the teachers stopped wearing heels, they became 4% shorter'.

So, the relation becomes,

Height without heels = Height with heels - 4% of height with heels

Then, we have,

1. Ms. Mathey is 190 cm with heels.

So, Ms. Mathey = 190-4% of 190 = 190 - 7.6 = 182.4 cm  without heels

2. Mrs. Meansy is 162.5 cm with heels.        

So, Mrs. Meansy =  162.5-4% of 162.5  = 162.5 - 6.5 = 156 cm  without heels

3. Ms. Cool is 140 cm with heels.

So, Ms. Cool = 140-4% of 140 = 140 - 5.6 = 134.4 cm  without heels

Also, the relation can be written as,

Height with heels = Height without heels + 4% of height without heels

4. Miss Short is 155.1 cm without heels

So, Miss Short = 155.1+4% of 155.1 = 155.1+6.2 = 161.3 cm with heels        

5. Miss Lora is 159.8 cm without heels

So, Miss Lora =  159.8+4% of 159.8  = 159.8+6.4 = 166.2 cm with heels

Thus, the final table is,

                          Height with Heels                Height without Heels

Ms. Mathey               190 cm                                       182.4 cm

Mrs. Meansy             162.5 cm                                    156 cm

Ms. Cool                   140 cm                                       134.4 cm

Miss Short                 161.3 cm                                      155.1 cm

Miss Lora                  166.2 cm                                     159.8 cm
