The length of a rectangle is 26 inches and the width is 58 inches. What is the perimeter? Please show work.

answer

168 inches

set up equations

the perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

p = 2W + 2L

values

length = L = 26 inches

width = W = 58 inches

plug in values

p = 2W + 2L

p = 2 * 58 + 2 * 26

p = 52 + 116

p = 168 inches

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !
