2 equations, 2 unknowns. Call height H and base B.
From the first sentence:
HB = 216
From the second sentence:
H = ⅔ B
Plug the second into the first and solve for B:
(⅔ B)B = 216
B^2 = 324
B = 18
Plug that back into either of the original 2 equations and solve for H:
H(18) = 216
H = 12
Here's an example of %
20% = 0.2
2% = 0.02
when multiplying with decimals in place you always add up the two periods, 155.8 × 0.2 = 31.16
since the dot is one over for both you add 1 + 1 which equals 2, then when you get 31.16 you move over 2 decimal points, making it 31.16
btw the answer is when you subtract 31.16 from 155.80 which would be 124.64$ for your final cost.

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
