Question

On my sister's 15th birthday, she was 159 cm in height, having grown 6% since the year before. How tall was she the previous year?
Options:
A .  150 cm
B .  140 cm
C .  142 cm
D .  154 cm
Answer: Option A

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

Given that height on 15th birthday = 159 cm and growth = 6%
Let the previous year height = x

$MF#%\begin{align}&\text{Then height on 15th birthday = }x \times \dfrac{\left(100 + 6\right)}{100} = x \times \dfrac{106}{100}\\
&\Rightarrow 159 = x \times \dfrac{106}{100}\\
&\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{159 \times 100}{106} = 1.5 \times 100 = 150\text{ cm}\end{align} $MF#%
