Step-by-step solution
4 stepsLet H₀ be Jamila's height in the previous year.
Her height increased by 6% since the previous year.
Her current height is 154 cm.
Express the current height in terms of the previous year's height and the percentage growth.
Current height = H₀ + 6% of H₀
Current height = H₀ + (6/100) × H₀
Current height = H₀ × (1 + 0.06)
Current height = H₀ × 1.06Substitute the given current height into the equation.
154 cm = H₀ × 1.06
Solve for H₀.
H₀ = 154 / 1.06
H₀ = 145.2830...Round the answer to a reasonable number of decimal places, typically two for height measurements.
H₀ ≈ 145.28 cm
Jamila was 145.28 cm in the previous year.
