1 thought on “amirah is 8% taller than huixian and priya is 10% shorter than huixian express the height of amirah as a percentage of that of pri”

1. Answer:

   Let the height of Huxian be X

   Amirah is 8% taller than Huxian

   Therefore height of Amirah

   A=X+X×8/100

   A=X(1+0.08)

   A=1.08X

   Priya is 10% shorter than Huxian

   Therefore height of priya

   P=X-X×10/100

   P=X(1-0.1)

   P=0.9X

   Now we need to find out A is what percentage of P

   Therefore,

   =A/P×100

   =1.08X/0.9X×100

   =108×100/90

   =120%

   Therefore, Height of Amirah is 120% of the height of Priya.
