Let the width of the yard  be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18

Perimeter for rectangle =  2(l + w)

        2(l + w) = 72
      
        2(w+18 + w) = 72      Divide 2 on both sides

           (w + 18 + w) = 36

               2w + 18 =   36

                       2w = 36 - 18

                            2w = 18       Divide 2 on both sides

                                w = 18/2

                                   w = 9

Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27

Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27

Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 =   243

Area of rectangular yard =  243 square feet.

So here you are trying to find out what times .30 (30%) subtracted the original price will give you 18.75. Because it is 30% discount you want to use 70% (.7) so that you can find the price before not the price after.

so .7(x) = 18.75

Which you then divide and then get 26.79 dollars.

rusak2 [61]
Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2

11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8

OR You could use decimals

2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8

Travka [436]
Let x = width
x+1 is then the length

2x+2(x+1)=66
2x+2x+2=66
4x=64
x=16
deck will be 16x17, nice for a BBQ. :)
