Question

A mountain on a tropical island experiences changes in its height due to volcanic activity. Its current height is 2,827 meters, which is 10% taller than it was when the mountain was last measured. How tall was it then?

Answer 1

2,570 meters

Explanation:

110% of what number is 2827

1.1x = 2827 Divide both sides by 1.1

`(1.1x)/(1.1)` =
`(2827)/(1.1)`

x = 2570
