<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>
l = 2w - 3
2l + 2w = 42
Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.
2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42
Distributive property.
4w - 6 + 2w = 42
Combine like terms.
6w - 6 = 42
Add 6 to both sides.
6w = 48
Divide both sides by 6.
w = 8
Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.
l = 2(8) - 3
l = 16 - 3
l = 13
Depending on the length of the jump rope but usually you may need both feet and inches. By checking the average lengths of a jump rope you have: 7ft, 8ft,9ft,10ft for different heights so from this information the correct answer is feet
1 percent of $270 is 2.70 (you just move the decimal point). then multiply your 1 percent by 24 and you have the answer. I get $64.80, doing it on paper.
Add the 24 percent to the original price and you have your retail price: $334.80. If you have a calculator, check my maths.
