The annual snowfall for city B is 7.7 inches.
Since it is 12.5 inches more: 58.7 - 12.5 = 46.2
Since 46.2 is 6 times that of city B: 46.2 / 6 = 7.7

Since there is 6 times more snow in city B than in city A, 6 times 58.7 is 352.2.

Now, the problem say says, " This is 12.5 inches more than six times the snowfall in city B" so, you have to add 12.5 to 352.2.

352.2+12.5= 364.7

ANSWER: The annual snowfall in city B is 364.7 inches.
