Okay, so since the discount is 60% of the price and it comes out to $2.8, we are going to form the following expression, where x is the original price.

60% of x = 2.8

Simply means: 60/100 * x = 2.8

You solve for x, which comes out to $4, which is your original price.

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain rectangle. This rectangle has length 5 units more than the side of this square
kykrilka [37]
Let s be the measure of the measure of the sides of the square such that its area is s². From the conditions above, the length of the rectangle is s + 5 and its width is 0.5s. The area of the rectangle is (s+5)(0.5s)
                             s² = (s + 5)(0.5s) 
The value of s is 5. Thus the dimension of the rectangle in w x h is 2.5 x 10.
