(a) 3x=4(x-2.25) (or simplified: 3x=4x-9)

(b) 3x=4x-9
0=x-9
x=$9

(c) 3x9=27
4x9=36
36-9=27
and 27=27 therefore they spent the same and it is correct

(d) Tanya's items cost $9 each and Tony's items cost $2.25 less than this, or $6.75

PLEASE HELP!!!
Elden [556K]
If we take the perimeter of the park as being equivalent to the distance that Anwar walks, then we can calculate the number of blocks he walks and then multiply this by the width of each block, thus:

Number of blocks walked = 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
Distance walked = 8*300 = 2400 feet

(You could also draw a diagram to help present this in a visual way but it is not necessary)
