the perimeter of a rectangle is 132 m. the length is 2 meters more than 3 times the width. find the dimensions of the rectangle

1 answer:

7 0

2l + 2w = 132
l = 3w + 2

2(3w+2)+2w=132
6w + 4 + 2w = 132
8w + 4 = 132
8w = 128
w = 16

l = 3(16) + 2
l = 48 + 2
l = 50

2(50) + 2(16) __ 132
100 + 32 = 132

boeing plans to increase its price for jetliners. with a selling price $201.5 million and a cost of $190.1 million, what was the

scoray [572]

so from 190.1 to 201.5 is 201.5 - 190.1 = 11.4.

now, if we take 190.1 as the 100%, what is 11.4 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190.1&100\\ 11.4&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190.1}{11.4}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 190.1x=1140 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1140}{190.1}\implies x\approx 5.99684$
