Answer: The length is 510 and the width is 110.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle, you will have to add the 2 times the length plus 2 times the width because a rectangle have 4 sides. Two widths and two lengths.
You can now use the formula P= 2l + 2w
were P is the perimeter , l is the length, and w is the width.
the length is 400 more than the width, so we can represent that by the equation, l = w + 400
And now we know that the width is w.
So now we will input the perimeter, length, and into the formula to solve for w.
1240 = 2(w + 400) + 2w
1240 = 2w + 800 + 2w
1240 = 4w + 800
-800 -800
440 = 4w
w = 110
L= 110 + 400
L = 510
Check :
1240 = 2(510) + 2(110)
1240 = 1020 + 220
1240 = 1240

Answer:
Jenna sold 280 boxes, Becca sold 105 boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 boxes B sold, J sold 8 boxes and ended with a total of 385 boxes sold.
3b+8j=385
From how the question is asked, we can assume that each round of sales would equal 11 total sales. (3b+8j=11)
Knowing the sales take place in intervals of 11, we can solve the problem by doing 385/11.
385/11=35
Finally, with 35 rounds of sales happening and knowing Jenna sells 8 while Becca sells 3 at each one, all that's left to do is multiply.
8x35=280
3x35=105
To be sure we can check our answer by adding them together, 280+105=385.
