Melody planted sunflowers from two different seed packets. She found that the sunflowers from Packet A were 20% taller than the sunflowers from Packet B. If the sunflowers from Packet A were 192 inches tall, how tall were the sunflowers from Packet B?
Let's think step by step below.
160
The height of the sunflowers from Packet A is the same as the height of the sunflowers from Packet B + 20%.

If Y represents the height of the sunflowers from Packet B, Y + 0.

20Y = the height of sunflowers from Packet A.

We know the height of the sunflowers from Packet A is 192 inches = Y + 0.

20Y or 1.

2Y.

To figure out Y, we would divide both sides of the equation by 1.

2, like this: 192 / 1.

2 = 1.

2Y / 1.

2 or 160 = Y.

.

Final answer: 160
