Well, if 5% of them are real, that means 95% of the calls they get each day are false alarms.  

If we set up our inequality and multiply (Which i'm assuming you know how to do) We would get 114. Therefore, 114 calls would be false alarms.

maks197457 [2]
H = 5 + ut - 16t^2
When the balls falls back to the ground, h = 0
0 = 5 + 3.2u - 16(3.2)^2
0 = 5 + 3.2u - 163.84
0 = 3.2u - 158.84
3.2u = 158.84
u = 158.84/3.2 = 49.6 ft/s

Required equation is
h = 5 + 49.6t - 16t^2
