THE STATED SOLUTION IS CORRECT (LENGTHS OF 16 FEET AND 8 FEET)
BASED ON THE WAY THE VARIABLE IF DEFINED THE EQUATION SHOULD BE X+2 X=24 .
THE WAY THE VARIABLE IS DEFINED AND BECAUSE X=16 THE LONGER PIECE OF ROPE WOULD BE 32 FEET, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE . SO A, B, AND D ARE YOUR ANSWERS ON E20 (JUST FINISHED THE QUESTION )
It's an 11% increase. To find this, you have to subtract 85 from 94.35 and then you divide that difference by the original amount. In this case it's 85. After that, you get .11. Then you just turn it into a percent.
