A city is building a fence around a rectangular playground. If the perimeter of the playground is 94 feet and the length of one side of the fence is 27 feet, what is the width of the playground?
A.
67 feet
B.
20 feet
C.
47 feet
D.
40 feet

Answer :

it is the answer d because it is 40
P = 2(L + W)
P = 94
L = 27

94 = 2(27 + W)
94 = 54 + 2W
94 - 54 = 2W
40 = 2W
40/2 = W
20 = W 
so the width (W) is 20 ft
