the students at midtown middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in september and october. in october, they charged $1.50 for each flower. the october price was a 20% increase of the september price.

part a:

what was the price of the flowers in september?

part b:

the seventh-grade class earned 40% of the selling price of each flower.

in september, they sold 900 flowers.

in october, they sold 700 flowers.

did they earn more money in september or october?

how much more?

Part A:

answer- $1.80

(20% of $1.50 is .30, so    1.50+.30=1.80)

Part B:

September=$540 ( 1.50 times 900 is 1,350, 40% of 1,350 is 540)

October=$504     ( 1.80 times 700 is 1,260, 40% of 1,260 is 504)

answer=they earned more money in September; $36 more

(540-504=36)

Hope this helped!

damm bro the struggle

step-by-step explanation:

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
