Question
When Sarah was 10 years old, she was 130 cm tall.Two years later, her height had increased by 15%.Find Sarah's height when she was 12 years old.
Solution
To find Sarah's height when she was 12 years old, we first need to calculate how much her height increased by 15%.
Step 1: Calculate 15% of her height when she was 10 years old. 15/100 * 130 cm = 19.5 cm
Step 2: Add this increase to her original height to find her height when she was 12. 130 cm + 19.5 cm = 149.5 cm
So, Sarah was 149.5 cm tall when she was 12 years old.
