Question

A livestock pen is built in the shape of a rectangle
that is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is
64 feet. If the material used to build the pen is $1.75
per foot for the longer sides and $2.25 per foot for
the shorter sides (the shorter sides have gates, which
increase the cost per foot), find the cost to build the
pen.
It costs $
to build the fence.

Answer 1

1.75(2(16)) + 2.25(2(8))
1.75(32) + 2.25(16) =
56 + 36 = $92
