The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*L+2*W. Knowing that length is 99, we do 2*99 to get 198.Do 374-198, which is 176, we know that that is twice the length of the width. Therefore the width is 176/2, which is 88.

Forming Equations from Word Problems</h2>
To form equations from word problems, we can derive mathematical operations as well as variables from the given information.
In this case, each time Walker reads a certain number of pages, we subtract that from the total number of pages left to know how many pages is left to read.
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
<em>Let r represent the pages left to read.</em>
<em />
792 pages in total
Walker reads 15 pages a day during the week and 25 pages a day during the weekend.
- There are 5 weekdays, and he reads 15 pages each of those days. ⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - 5×15
- There are 2 weekend days, and he reads 25 pages each of those days.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)
5 weeks have passed
- Multiply the terms representing the number of pages he reads a week by 5, for 5 weeks.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
<h2>Answer</h2>
<em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
A) Interest = principal * rate * time
I = (800)(0.05)(3) = $120
b) $800 + $120 = $920 after the three years. $920 * (1 - 0.02) = $901.60.
Answer:
600 baboons
Step-by-step explanation:
Half the number of marked baboons showed up in the sample, so we expect the sample size to be about half of the total population. 300 is half of 600.
___
Many assumptions are involved in such an experiment and analysis. Not the least of which are the assumptions that the marked baboons end up evenly distributed through the population, and that the sample is a fair sample of the entire population.
