No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18
what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF

Answer:
There is no value of x to fit this requirement.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 perimeters in terms of x are:
4(x + 3) for the square and
2(x+1) + 2(x +4) for the rectangle
and these need to be equal so
we equate these 2 and solve for x:
4(x + 3) = 2(x+1) + 2(x +4)
4x + 12 = 2x + 2 + 2x + 8
4x + 12 = 4x + 10
4x - 4x = 10 - 12
0 = -2 which is of course absurd so there is no solution to this equation.
