Andrea runs a fruit store. She started Sunday with 20 cherries in stock. During the day, she sold 17 cherries and got a shipment of fresh cherries. The
shipment contained 4 times as many cherries as she started the day with.
How many cherries does Andrea have in stock at the end of the day?

Andrea has 83 cherries in stock at the end of the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

starts with 20 cherries

sold 17 cherries

3 cherries remain

get 4 times as many she starts with 20×4= 80

80 + the 3 that remained

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
