    We first calculate Pablo's height.

    4 = 100%

    x = 1% (Where x is 1% of Sandra's height.)

    cross multiplying the equation, we get:

    100x = 4 → x = 4/100 → x = 0.04

    If 1% = 0.04, then 10% will be 0.04 * 10 = 0.4

    Pablo's height is 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 feet.

    Now we repeat the above steps to get Michal's height from Pablo's height

    4.4 = 100%

    x = 1% so:

    100x = 4.4 → x = 4.4 / 100 → x = 0.044

    If 1% = 0.044, then 8% will be 0.044 * 8 = 0.35

    Michael's height is 4.4 + 0.35 = 4.75 feet.
