10% * $230.00 = $23.00
The discount is $23.00.
_____
Of course, you know that 10% expressed as a decimal is 0.10. Many calculators will calculate percentages directly. If yours doesn't, you can use the decimal equivalent. If you recognize that multiplying by 1/10 simply shifts the decimal point to the left one place, you can do the arithmetic in your head.
The tower is 61.65 meters tall.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given that, a pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long.
At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m long.
We have to find height of the tower.
Now, we know that,

Then, (let it be) n meter tall
36.25 long shadow
So, by cross multiplication method,

This can be written as,

Cross multiplications steps: (To find Single Variable)
- Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction.
- Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction.
- Set the two products equal to each other.
- Solve for the variable.
When you divide fractions, you change each to its reciprocal, then you look multiply them. Using reciprocals helps you easily solve the problem.
