Neal buys a board game. he pays for the board game and pays $1.54 in sales tax. the sales tax rate is 5.5%. what is the original price of the board game, before tax?

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

x = original price of the board game

tax =$1.54 = x(.055)

solve for x by dividing each side by .055

x = 28 = price of the board game.

Check your answer by seeing if .055*28 = 1.54

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

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7
