hartnn (hartnn):

isn't it as simple as 80% of 10 = 8 ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

how did you get 80%

hartnn (hartnn):

lost 20% implies, remaining 80%

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

what is 80%

hartnn (hartnn):

energy

hartnn (hartnn):

m just using logic, no formula

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but it also looses 20% energy

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

if the body wouldn't have lose the energy, it would have again rise upto 10m. but since it has lost energy therefore it would gain only (100-20)%=80% height if 10 m & that is 8m.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

i think @hartnn wants to say this statement:)

hartnn (hartnn):

it looses 20% thats why it still has 80% yes

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

if=of*

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
