Perimeter = 2L + 2W  = 48                    WHERE L=length and W=width

The length must be longer than the width so im going to say that L = W + 5

so the equation is 

2(W + 5)  + 2W = 48

2W + 2W + 10 = 48

4W = 38 

W = 38/4 = 9.5 ins and  

length = 5+9.5 = 14.5 ins

= 10,000 * 40

= $400,000

She however made $90,000 more than them as they went to college;

= 400,000 - 90,000

= $310,000

The long-term financial cost was $310,000.
