  A.  40.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

  $12.75 +5.00 = $17.75

From $29.95, this represents a change of ...

  (17.75 -29.95)/29.95 × 100%

  = -12.20/29.95 × 100% ≈ -40.7346%

The bookstore can offer a maximum discount of about 40.7%.

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
