You are right but just think, what if we define width like this and someday we need to change it to a different value?. Its better to have it defined at one place may be in an id or a class and use that particular class whereever required. With this, if there are any changes in near future we just have to make changes at one place rather to scanning the whole page and make the change, infact thats one reason we are using external CSS.
