Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Brandon wants to buy a new bike. The model he likes is on sale for 15% off its original price. His parents agree to pay for $50 of the cost. If the original cost of the bike is x dollars, which of the expressions below represent the amount Brandon has to pay

Discount on price = 15%

Amount parents agreed to pay = $50

Cost of bike = x

Discount on bike = 0.15x

Cost after discount is removed = (x - 0.15x) = 0.85x

Parent pays $50 of cost price, amount Brandon will have to pay equals :

(0.85x - $50)

36 is the final answer! : )

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
