Use the formula
p=4 x s
Plug in 24 for x
p=4(24)
P=96

Answer:
(c) $72
Step-by-step explanation:
Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...
12 × 12 = 144
tiles will be needed to cover the area.
The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...
(144)($0.50) = $72.00
We need to write the following expression and solve for x:
9/18 = 100/x
So: 9x = 1800
x = 200
So it would take him 200 minutes to deliver 100 papers.
We do the same for 72 papers
9/18 = 72/x
so 9x = 1296
and x = 144
It would take him 144 minutes to deliver 72 papers.
You can put them vertically
then subtract them
but if you do it, it will be 0=-10 that doesn't make sense.
So the answer is that there is no answer!
