Samuel and jason spend 3/4 of their combined earnings from wednesday to buy a gift. how much do they spend? is there enough left over from wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25? explain.
earnings:
samuel - (12.5×0.40)
jason - (7.1×0.40)

they spend $ 5.88 to buy a gift but there is not enough money left to buy a card of $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The earnings form Wednesday of Samuel and Jason are:

   Samuel earnings = 12.5x0.40 = $5

   Jason earnings = 7.1x0.40 = $ 2.84

The combined earnings form Wednesday are:

   Combined earnings = Samuel earnings + Jason earnings

   Combined earnings= $5 + $ 2.84 = $ 7.84

The spended earnings are:

    Spended earnings = combined earnings x ¾

    Spended earnings = 7.84 x ¾ = $ 5.88

The left over is:

    Left over = combined earnings – spended earnings

    Left over = 7.84 – 5.88 = $ 1.96

So, they spend $ 5.88 to buy a gift but there is not enough money left to buy a card of $3.25

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
