Your friend gave you a gift card to a new restaurant. after you spend $36$36 on dinner, there is a balance of $44$44 left on the gift card. what was the original gift card amount?

80 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this we just create a simple equation, where the total will be represented by x, so total will equal the remaining money + the spent money:

Total= Remaining `+ Spent

X=$44+ $36

x= $80

So the origina amount in the gift card was $80.

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
