9514 1404 393

  A:  (b) 320 is what percent of 400

  B:  80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

This is a reading comprehension question. You are told that ...

  $320 is the amount needed

  $400 is the amount earned

and you are asked to find ...

  what percent of the amount earned is the amount needed?

The question can be rephrased as ...

  the amount needed is what percent of the amount earned?

Filling in the amounts you are told, the rephrased question becomes ...

  $320 is what percent of $400 . . . . . matches choice (b)

__

Part B:

If we let x represent "what percent", then we can write the above question as ...

  320 = x · 400

Dividing by 400 gives ...

  320/400 = x = 0.80 = 80%

That is, 320 is 80% of 400.

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

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.
