Question

A rectangular garden is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. A second rectangular garden has dimensions that are double the dimensions of the first garden. What is the percent of change in perimeter from the first garden to the second garden?

Answer 1

The percent of the second garden was 12.94%. The way that the person that answered before got 54 (which is the size of the second garden) is that they did 6 x 4 = 24 and doubled it because of the dimensions so it went to 48 then added 6 and got 54. And got the percent by 54 x 24% = 12.94%. To answer the percentage is 12.94%.
