Answer:
width = 6
length = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = W - 2
plug in perimeter:
20 = 2L + 2W
you know the length is 2 less than the width
plug in (w - 2) for L:
20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w
solve for w:
20 = 2w - 4 + 2w
20 = 4w - 4
4w = 24
w = 6
now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:
L = 6 - 2
L = 4
width = 6
length = 4
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is greater than 1.5 by 3.5
5 - 1.5 = 3.5

No, it isn't!
first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6
this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4
now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88
so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18
what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Take the total ounces and divide by the number of ounces per serving
42/5 =8.4
Round down since we don't want to short someone on their soup
