Answer:

the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dimension of the rectangle is shown below:

Given that

The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm

The width be x

So, the length would be 2 1 ÷ 4 x - 3 i.e.  9 ÷ 4x - 3

Now as we know that

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + width)

20 = 2 (9 ÷ 4x - 3 + x)

20 = 9 ÷ 2x - 6 + 2x

20 = 4.5x - 6 + 2x

26 = 6.5x

x = 4 cm

Now the length would be

= 9 × 4  ÷ 4  - 3

= 6 cm

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

The original price is $60.The sales price is $45. What is the percent of discount?
MariettaO [177]
Hey there!

To start, first subtract 45 from 60 to find the amount of money taken off from the discount:
60-45
=15

Because 15 dollars have been taken off the original price, you can find the percent of discount by setting up this proportion where x represents the percent of discount:
15/60=x/100

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
1500=60x
x=25

Therefore, your discount would be 25%.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)
