Answer:

The length is 56 and the width is 54.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2x+2y (width and length on both sides). so 2x+2y=220. Also x=y-2, because the width is 2 feet less than the length. Fill x=y-2 in 2x+2y=220 and we get 2(y-2)+2y=220. 2y-4+2y=220. 4y=216. y=54. Fill in y=54 in 2x+2y=220 and we get 2x+2(54)=220. 2x=220-2(54)=112. x=56.

The Consumer Price Index is calculated through the equation,
                             CPI = (current period price/base period price) x 100
The base period is 1983. Solving the CPIs for 2000 and 2005
         (2000) 
                             CPI = ($28.94/$16.35) x 100 = 177
        (2005)           
                             CPI = ($32.54/$16.35) x 100 = 199
The difference between the CPIs of 2005 and 2000 is 199 - 177 = 22.
