88cm is used to make 3 squares, so each square has a unique Length. Lets make it A+A+A+A + B+B+B+B + C+C+C+C = 88cm. this means that A+B+C = 88/4 = 22cm.

Note that PQ is A+B+C, ie., one side per square.

Can both solving consider correct?

Good afternoon. Both methods are acceptable.
However, your first step in the first method has to be either slightly modified or split into two separate steps. You see, 63 + 37 (which yields 100) is not equal to 100 ÷ 2 (which yields 50).
(63+37)÷2 = 100÷2
Or
63+37= 100
100÷2 = 50

First to find out the largest number of units
376/13=28u
No of Bonus=28/8=3u
Therefore sold 25bags.
Test check: 25x13+3x17=$376

Pauline's daughter made the total number of units before (2+3=5) and after (1+3=4) the same at 20 units.

Since Gary gave Ann, the total of money they have did not change, correct ? Thus you have to make the total ratio of Gary and Ann at first and at the end equal (common multiple of 5 and 4) is 20.
At first, 2 : 3 = (2+3) 5
5 x 4 = 20
At the end, 1 : 3 = (1+3) 4
So 4 x 5 = 20
