Answer:
36.5 is the answer
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the actual pressure be x
The actual pressure is 100% of x
The pressure is showing 8% more
So the pressure showing now is the actual pressure + the extra pressure
= 100%+8% = 108%
= 108/100
So the equation is:
108/100 x = 39.42
108x = 39.42*100
108x = 3942
x= 3942/108
= 36.5
Therefore the actual pressure is 36.5
