Answer:
Let's denote the best height Ivan Ukhov can jump as x. According to the information given, he jumps 4% lower than this height.
The jump height he achieved is 2.4meters, which is 4 percentage lower than x. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
x - 0.04x = 2.4
Combine like terms:
0.96x = 2.4
Now, solve for x
x = 2.4/ 0.96
x ~2.5 approximately
Therefore, the best height Ivan Ukhov can jump is approximately \(2.5\) meters.
