Given the statement:
Go Tiger tails is around 30% the length of Bengal tiger
Determine how long is the length of the tail if the Bengal tiger is 96cm in length.
Solution:
Since we are asked to take the percentage, we must first convert the percentage to decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 30/100
= 0.3
Multiply 0.3 by 96 in order to determine the length of the tiger's tail.
= (0.3)(96)
= 28.8 cm
Final answer:
The length of the tiger's tail is 28.8 cm
