Sue's tyre pressure gauge shows a reading which is 8% higher than the actual pressure. what is the actual pressure when sue's gauge shows 39.42? show how you got answer

Actual pressure = 36.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual pressure be x.

Pressure on Sue's gauge shows 8% higher than the actual pressure.

8% more of x = x + 0.08x

= 1.08x

It is also given that the pressure on Sue's gauge = 39.42

Therefore, 1.08x = 39.42

Divide both sides by 1.08.

x =

= 36.5

Hence, actual pressure = 36.5.
