The price of apair of shoes is $52. this price is 15% lower than last week. what is the price of the shoes last week?

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to first find what 15% of 52 is. We can find it by multiplying 52 x 0.15

that would give us 7.8

since we need to know the price last week we need to add 7.8 to 52

7.8 + 52 = 59.8

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
