Question
Answer:
Suppose height of Mandy is x cm.
Misa is 5cm taller than Mandy so,height of Misa is x+5 cm.
Mary is 9 cm shorter than Misa so, height of Mary is (x+5)-9=x+5-9=x-4 cm.
Total height=x+(x+5)+(x-4)=3x+1 cm
Given Total height 484 cm.
3x+1=484
or,3x=483
or,x=483Γ·3
or,x=161
Height of Mandy is 161cm
