The original price for one lunch special is $19.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The original price for one lunch special is 'p' dollar.
He wins a coupon for $4 off for each of five days. That means , <u>he needs to pay
dollar each day</u>.
So, the total amount needed to pay for 5 days
dollar
Given that, <u>he pays $75 for his 5 lunch specials</u>. So the equation will be.....

So, the original price for one lunch special is $19.
how much money did they start off with?
Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20
We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250
We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b. Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15
Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.
Let n = length
let n-4 = width since it is 4 meters shorter
2( n+n-4) =72 Two of the length and width added together equal the perimeter
combine like terms
2(2n -4) = 72 Now use the distributive law on the left side of the equation
4n -8 = 72 Now add 8 to both sides
4n -8 +8 = 72 +8
4n = 80 Finally divide each side by 4
n=20
so the length is 20 and the width is 4 less or 16.
Let's see if our answer works.
20 + 16 + 20 +16 =? 72
72 =72 yes, it does. Length = 20 Width = 16
