Answer 1

Here is a nice and neat way using pseudo elements.

With this you can as well add images and svg to each background which gives a lot of options.

If you need other elements within each box, you'll need the second inner div.

.rectangle-box {
  width: 200px;
  height: 30px;
  float: right;
  position: relative;
}

.rectangle-box:before {
  content: "";
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  background: #808080;
  opacity: 0.3;
}
.rectangle-box:after {
  content: "";
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 65px;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  background: #ff4742;
  opacity: 1;
}
