Caitlin has a $10 gift certificate to the music store. She has chosen a number of CDs from the $7
bargain bin. If the cost of the CDs is $32 after the gift
certificate is credited, how many CDs did Caitlin buy

9514 1404 393

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Before application of the $10 credit, Caitlin's purchase was $32 +10 = $42. Your knowledge of multiplication facts tells you that 42 = 6×7. If each CD was $7, Caitlin bought 6 of them.

If you need an equation, you could use ...

  7x -10 = 32 . . . . the final value of Caitlin's purchase

  7x = 42 . . . . . . . .add 10

  x = 42/7 = 6 . . . . Caitlin bought 6 CDs.

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
