I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.

Answer:
₹1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the marked price. After the discount, the price is 0.80m. After the tax is added, the price is (0.80m)(1.13). This value is Rs 904, so the marked price is ...
(0.80m)(1.3) = ₹904
m = ₹904/(0.80×1.13) = ₹904/0.904
m ≈ ₹1000
The marked price of the watch is ₹1000.
