Answer 2

Answer: the boy's height is 15% more than the girl's height.

Explanation:

If a girl's height is 15% less than a boy, we can calculate the percentage of the boy's height that is more than the girl's height.

• Let's say the boy's height is x.

• The girl's height would be (100-15)% of x = 85% of x.

(Calculate the girl's height by multiplying the boy's height by (100-15)/100 which is equivalent to 85% of boy's height.)

• Therefore, the boy's height is x and the girl's height is 0.85x

• Subtract the girl's height from the boy's height. (x - 0.85x)

• Divide the difference obtained above by the boy's height.
• (x - 0.85x) / x

• Multiply the result by 100 to convert it into percentage.

The answer will be the percentage of the boy's height that is more than the girl's height.

• So, the final calculation will be:

(x - 0.85x) / x * 100 = 0.15x / x * 100 = 15%.

So, the boy's height is 15% more than the girl's height.

• Additional knowledge

Calculating percentages is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. Here are the steps to calculate a percentage:

Identify the whole or total amount, which is the number that represents 100%.

Identify the part or the portion of the whole that you want to express as a percentage.

Divide the part by the whole and multiply the result by 100. The result is the percentage.

For example, if you want to find out what percentage 20 is of 50, you would divide 20 by 50 and then multiply by 100:

20/50 * 100 = 40%

Alternatively, you can use the formula:

(part/whole) * 100 = percentage
