Asked by Sophia
The community raised twice the amount of money needed to buy a piece of land for the playground, with a given area. Jon and his dad decided to multiply the length and the width of the planned playground by 2. If the cost of the land is proportional to the area, will there be enough money to cover this change?

The original area is A = LW
The new area is (2L)(2W) = 4LW = 4A
