Sandra is 4 feet tall. pablo is 10% taller than sandra and michaels is 8% taller than pablo. what is michael height in feet

We first calculate  Pablo's height .

4 = 100%

x = 1%  (Where x is 1% of  Sandra's height.)

cross multiplying the equation, we get:

100x = 4 →  x = 4/100  → x = 0.04

If 1% = 0.04, then 10%  will be 0.04 × 10 = 0.4

Pablo's height is 4 + 0.4 =  4.4 feet.

Now we repeat the above steps to get Michal's height from Pablo's height

4.4 = 100%

x =  1%       so:

100x = 4.4 → x = 4.4/ 100 → x = 0.044

If 1% = 0.044, then 8% will be 0.044 × 8 = 0.35

Michael's height is  4.4 + 0.35 = 4.75 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
