The width of a rectangular box is 20% of the length.
\n" ); document.write( "If the perimeter is 192 cm, then what are the length and width of the box?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let length be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then width = 0.2x
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(L + W)
\n" ); document.write( "192 = 2(x+0.2x)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "96 = 1.2x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 80cm (length)
\n" ); document.write( "0.2x = 16cm (width)
