If anyone can help it would be great I have several word problems to solve

Julie is planning to make a garden in her backyard. The garden will be rectangular -32 feet on one side and 65 feet on the other side. In order to keep animals out of the garden, Julie will be building a wire fence to protect the garden. To prepare the soild in the garden, se will be treating the soil with a special fertilizer which prevents weeds and pests.

The wire fence can be purchased for $21.75 per yard (1 yard = 3 feet). You are not permitted to purchase a part of a yard.

She can purchase the fertilizer at a cose of $8.75 per gallon. Each gallon will treat 650 sq feet. The fertilizer is only available for sale by the gallon.

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
Area = length x width
