1. **State the problem:** We need to find the length of a rectangle given its perimeter and width.
2. **Given:**
- Perimeter $P = 128.8$
- Width $W = 23.4$
3. **Formula for perimeter of a rectangle:**
$$P = 2(L + W)$$
where $L$ is the length and $W$ is the width.
4. **Substitute the known values:**
$$128.8 = 2(L + 23.4)$$
5. **Divide both sides by 2:**
$$\frac{128.8}{2} = \cancel{2}(L + 23.4)/\cancel{2}$$
$$64.4 = L + 23.4$$
6. **Solve for $L$ by subtracting 23.4 from both sides:**
$$L = 64.4 - 23.4$$
$$L = 41$$
7. **Answer:** The length of the rectangle is $41$.
Only one answer is possible, which corresponds to option A.
