A streetlight that is 8 feet tall casts a 3-foot-long shadow. A nearby flagpole cats a 15-foot-long shadow. What is the height o
f the flagpole?
URGENT: I looked this up and someone said 20ft, if you’re doing this on Big Ideas it will mark it as WRONG. The answer is 40ft. I don’t know how but I just did it and I don’t want anyone else getting it wrong. (it wouldn’t let me comment on the other one since the question was too old)

Answer:
125,000,000
Step-by-step explanation:
In percentage,
Media + Sales = 3 + 17 = 20%
Let total budget be "t", so we can say:
20% of total budget is 25,000,000
"of" means "multiplication" and "is" means "equal to", so we can convert word equation to algebraic equation. Shown below:
20% * t = 25,000,000
20% = 20/100 = 0.2
Thus, the final equation is:
0.2t = 25,000,000
Solving for t, we get:
The total budget is (125 million) = 125,000,000
