Question

The Rugyong hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea, has 105 stories. This is 9 more than twice the number of stories of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, California. How many stories does the Transamerica Pyramid have?



a.

52 stories

c.

48 stories


b.

96 stories

d.

57 stories

Answer 1

It was 9 more than twice the number of stories so we begin by taking out that 9. So :
105 - 9 = 96

Now that the 9 is taken out, we can divide it by two / half it to get our answer.
So :
96 / 2 = 48

Therefore c) 48 stories is the correct answer.
