Length: w+4
Width:w
Perimeter:44
Area: L times w
P=44
44=2(w)+2(w+4)
44=2w+2w+8
44=4w+8
36=4w
w=9
L=w+4
L=9+4
L=13
Area should equal 117 cm squared
Okay I am going to explain to you and show you how to get the correct answer.
Fist you need to find the Greatest common factor which is 45 because 5×9=45
8/9=40/45
+3/5=27/45
__________
67/45 is reduced to 1 22/45
5 goes into 45 9 times so 3 times 7 equals 27 and 9 goes into 45 5 times so 8 times 5 equals 40 you add both numbers up and get 67. 67 can't go into 45 so you subtract 67 from 45. 45 goes into 67 1 time so that is your whole the number. 22 is left over so that is your numerator. The denominator remains the same.
Two cheaper books = x
more expensive = 1.5x
so, 2.5x=150
150/2.5=x=60
therefore the more expensive book = 90
