To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.

To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100

To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65

15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.

Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65

The answer is %17.65

Llana [10]

Answer:

a. h = 60t − 4.9t²

b. 12.2 seconds

c. 183.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given:

y₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 60 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 m + (60 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

h = 60t − 4.9t²

b. When the ball lands, h = 0.

0 = 60t − 4.9t²

0 = t (60 − 4.9t)

t = 0 or 12.2

The ball lands after 12.2 seconds.

c. The maximum height is at the vertex of the parabola.

t = -b / (2a)

t = -60 / (2 × -4.9)

t = 6.1 seconds

Alternatively, the maximum height is reached at half the time it takes to land.

t = 12.2 / 2

t = 6.1 seconds

After 6.1 seconds, the height reached is:

h = 60 (6.1) − 4.9 (6.1)²

h = 183.7 meters
