Answer:
And we got finally:
And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft
So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft
We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:
And we got finally:
And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft
So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft
