Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256
"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W
we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W
distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256
add like terms
16 + 4W = 256
subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240
divide both sides by 4
W = 60
plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now
L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68
therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60
When you divide 98 by 5194, you get 0.01886 to be almost exact
After the 15% discount, Maria pays 85% of the cost. That cost is the sum of the fixed cost and the variable (per visit) cost.
... (updated cost) = 0.85×($150 +$30×a)
... (updated cost) = 127.50 +25.50a . . . . in dollars
Answer: P=130
2W +2L=130
2(31) + 2(34)=130
W=31
L=34
Step-by-step explanation:
P=130
2L + 2W
W=L-3
Add all of the sides together to get perimeter.
2(L-3) + 2L=130
2L-6+2L=130
4L-6+6=130+6
4L=136
4L/4=136/4
L=34
W=L-3
W=34-3
W=31
1 lb / 0.45 = 2.22
so approximately 2.22 kilograms per pound
divide price per pound by kilometers per pound
1.44 / 2.22 = 0.648
round to 0.65, so it costs $0.65 per kilogram
