Question
The king cobra can reach a length of 558 cm. This is only about 60 per cent of the length of the largest reticulated python. Find the length of the largest reticulated python.
Solution
Length of the king cobra = 558 cm
According to the question,
60% of length of reticulated python = 558cm
⇒ `60/100`× length of reticulated python = 558 cm
∴ Length of reticulated python = `558 xx 100/60` = 930 cm
