    The perimeter of a rectangle parking lot is 340 m. If the length of the parking lot is 97 m, what is it’s width?

    The formula for a rectangles perimeter P, is:
    P = 2l + 2w where l is the length and w is the width.

    Plugging in our P = 340 and l = 97, we have:
    2(97) + 2w = 340

    Multiply through, we get:
    2w + 194 = 340

    Type this equation into our search engine, we get:
    w = 73
