Suppose the width of the path is x. 
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x) 
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Ken intends to start a savings account

10% = leisure spending

This means 90% = Expenses for school

Let us represent the amount he must save as : x

Hence in other for him to have $2,160 in his savings account, the amount Ken must earn is calculated as:

90/100 × x = $2,160

Cross Multiply

90x = $2,160 × 100

x = ($2,160 × 100) ÷ 90

x =$2,400

Therefore, the amount Ken has to earn to have the amount needed for school is $2,400
