Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Keith's height and his nephew's height is 15:7. Let keith height be x cm and his nephews height be y cm.
Keiths height increased by 16% , therefore Keith new height is (100% + 16%) × x = 1.16x
The nephew height is doubled, therefore his new height is 2y.
Given that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew
1.16x = 2y + 34
but x = (15/7)y
The nephews new height = 2y = 2(70) = 140 cm
Keith new height = 2y + 34 = 140 + 34 = 174 cm
Their total current height = 140 cm + 174 cm = 314 cm
