Question

A man with a parrot is 220 cm tall.
When the parrot is on the ground, the difference between the man’s height and the parrot’s height is 160 cm.
What is the height of the parrot?

Accepted Answer

Let M represent the height of the man and P represent the height of the parrot. First Scenario (Left): The combined height of the man and the parrot on his head is 220. M+P=220 Second Scenario (Middle): The height difference between the top of the man's head and the top of the parrot standing on the ground is 160. M-P=160 Solving for the Parrot (P): Subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate M: (M+P)-(M-P)=220-160 2P=60 P=30 Answer is B. 30 cm.
