Question

under load a rope stretches 25% and is now 300 metres long; how long was the rope before the load was applied

Answer 1

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

May be my method would be wrong but I am getting 240 as answer.

125% = 300

so, using this formula 1% = 300/125

which comes out to be 2.4

now multiply 2.4 with 100

and answer is 240.
