If you want the strip around the mat:
x=strip of mat
2(20+2x)+2(15+2x)=102
Distribute
40+4x+30+4x=102
Combine like terms
70+8x=102
Subtract 70
8x=32
Divide by 8
x=4
If you want the whole width of the mat:
w=15+x
w=15+2*4
w=23
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
x is half the difference of the two arcs:
x = (136 -28)/2 = 54
The value of x is 54.
26,500 - 19,610 = 6,890
6,890 would be your price discount, but now you'd have to find your percent discount. Make it into an equation to make things easier.
6,890/26,500 = p/100
(6,890*100)/26,500 = p
6,890*100 = 689,000
689,000/26,500 = 26
The price discount would be 26%.
