Let the length be x and the width be y, then
2x + 2y = 56
x + y = 28 . . . (1)
x = 4 + 3y . . . (2)

Putting (2) into (1) gives
4 + 3y + y = 28
4y = 28 - 4 = 24
y = 24/4 = 6
x = 4 + 3(6) = 4 + 18 = 22

Therefore, length is 22 inches and width is 6 inches.

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 15% off clearan
astra-53 [7]

Answer: 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price is marked down by 60% with an additional discount of 15% on the marked down price

Suppose x is the original price of the item

After marking down, it is

\Rightarrow x-x\times 0.6=0.4x

after additional discount it is

\Rightarrow 0.4x(1-0.15)=0.4x\times 0.85=0.34x

Effective discount on the item is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{x-0.34x}{x}\times 100=66\%

Thus, a person is paying 100-66=34\% of the original price

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The amount of Cute Puppy food needed for the  year is 1140 cans.

<h3>Determining the total number of cans that the dogs eat in a year</h3>

The second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a month

23.75 x 4 = 95

The third second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a year:

95 x 12 = 1140 cans

<h3>Cost of cute puppy food needed in a year</h3>

1140 x ($21 /40) = $598.50
