The answer is in the question. If it is a similar shadow wouldn't it be the same?
25 feet

You can solve these word problems using ratios and proportions.

Imagine the side of the building is one side to a triangle and the second would be from the top of the building to the point where the shadow ends and the third is from the base of the building to the point where the shadow ends. Just use the pythagoreon theorem to find stuff. I can't solve the problem you gave because you would need the height of the building

Elena has 35 magazine subscriptions to sell. Each magazine subscription costs $8.50. Elena sold 17 magazine subscriptions on Fri

KengaRu [80]

Answer : The answer is $153.00 from selling magazine subscriptions on Saturday.

Explanation : We know that each magazine is equal to $8.50. At first she sold 17 of the 35 magazines. 17 x $8.50 = $144.50 from selling 17 magazines. Now we do 35-17 to get how many magazines are left. So there is 18 magazines left. We need to do the same thing we did before, 18 x $8.50 = $153.00. She got $153.00 from selling 18 magazines on Saturday.

Work:

Calculate the sum of positive numbers.
