Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.
2/3
6x = 4
x = 2/3
The scale factor can be determined by using similar sides
The total cost would be 200
We must multiply 20% by 5 in order to reach 100%.
To find out the total number of pages in Oswaldo's book, we must multiply his 20% (65) by 5, therefore:
65 * 5 = 325 total pages
