Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the let be 5+2x and breadth be 2x

Now we have,

Perimeter=2(l+b)

88=2(5+2x+2x)

88=10+8x

8x=78

x=78/8

x=9.75

Again,

length=5+2x=5+9.75=24.5

Breadth=2x=2x9.75=19.5

There are 99 males and 121 females participating in a marathon. What percent of the participants are female?

ioda

To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.

$99+121=220$

Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.

This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.

$\frac{121}{220} =0.55$

or 55%
