Question

any medical certificate candidate have his height as 25 percentage more than normal in the interview panel he clarified that height is 5 feet 4 inch find the percentage correction made by him

Answer 1

5 feet 4 inch

1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 60 inches

his total height = 60+4 = 64 inches

normal height = 64

certificate height = 64 + 25% of 64 = 64 + 16 = 80 inches

correction = 80 - 64 = 16

correction % = 16/80 * 100 = 20%
