You can put this solution on YOUR website! The width of a rectangular box is 20% of the length.
If the perimeter is 192 cm, then what are the length and width of the box?
---
Let length be "x".
Then width = 0.2x
-------------------
Equation:
P = 2(L + W)
192 = 2(x+0.2x)
---
96 = 1.2x
x = 80cm (length)
0.2x = 16cm (width)
