Question

The breadth of a rectangular garden is 25% more than its length. If its perimeter is 720 metres, what is its breadth?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose length of garden is = x

so breadth of garden = x + 25%

x + 25/100 =( 100x +25)/100

perimeter of garden = 720m

l + b = 720

$x + \frac{100x + 25}{100} = 720$

$\frac{100x + 100x + 25}{100} = 720$

$\frac{200x + 25}{100} = 720$

$200x + 25 = 72000$

200x = 72000-25

200x = 71975

x = 71975/200

x = 359.875

so the value of breadth is 360.125
