A = L * W........x = W
L = 2x + 3
A = 119

119 = x(2x + 3)
119 = 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 17 = 0
2x = -17
x = - 17/2 or - 8.5....wont work because it is negative

x - 7 = 0           L = 2x + 3
x = 7                L = 2(7) + 3
                        L = 14 + 3
                        L = 17

so the width (x) = 7 inches and the length (L) = 17 inches...
the equation used was : 119 = x(2x + 3)...or 2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0...not sure which equation they want...but they are the same

First: markup rate × wholesale price = amount of markup

Second: Well the markup rate is a percentage, you have to convert it into a decimal. Percent means "out of one hundred," so <span>80%</span> is equivalent to <span>80/100 </span>which is also equal to <span>80÷100</span>.

<span>Third: 80÷100=0.80</span>

0.80 × $93.00 = $74.40

Fourth: The markup rate is a percentage of the wholesale price that is added to get the retail price, you can find the retail price with the following equation: amount of markup + wholesale price = retail price

<span>$74.40</span> + <span>$93.00</span> = <span>$167.40</span>

The retail price of the chair should be <span>$167.40</span>.
