For the largest area, half the fence is used parallel to the river, and the other half is used for the two ends of the rectangular space.
The dimensions are 475 m by 237.5 m.
_____
Let x represent the length along the river. Then the area (A) is found as
.. A = x*(950 -x)/2
This equation describes a parabola with its vertex (maximum) halfway between the zeros of x=0 and x=950. That is, the maximum area is achieved when half the fence is used parallel to the river.
Ok do the original price minus the new price. 90-55=35. Divide that by the original number and multiply it by 100 to find the price decrease. 35/90=.3888*100=38.89

because that is the positive zero of that equation
