The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches

The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

Smoothie Stand at Utah’s Wasatch County’s Demolition Derby sells bananas. If John bought 55 lbs. of bananas at $.24 per pound ex
AlladinOne [14]
I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.

so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.
