Answer:
<u>Definitely not equivalent. </u>
Exponent rules state that whenever you multiply terms with the same power, you add the powers together and multiply the coefficients.
x^3*3*3 is equivalent to something like ((x^3)^3)^3 or x^27
x^3 * x^3 * x^3 would be x^3+3+3 or x^9
Answer: 1) Pizzeria must sell 78 pizzas for receiving the bonus.
2) The number of pizzas sold is decreased by Approximately 7.69 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The number of pizza sold yesterday = 65,
The target for receiving the bonus = 20% more than the number of pizza sold yesterday
= 20% more than 65,
= 65 + 20% of 65 ( 1% = 0.01 ⇒ 20% = 0.2 )
= 65 + 0.2 × 65
= 65 + 13 = 78.
Hence, they must sell 78 pizzas for receiving the bonus.
2) If the actual number of pizza sold today = 60
⇒ Total reduction in the number of pizza = 65 - 60
= 5
Thus, the percentage decrease in the number of pizza
To solve a proportion, you can either use cross products or basic multiplication.
To do cross products, you would multiply 17 (1st numerator) by 6 (2nd denominator).
Do the same with the other diagonal angle, 3 times y.
You'll end up with 3y = 102.
To solve for y, you divide both sides by 3.
102 ÷ 3 = 34
y = 34
The other way you could solve this is to see that 6 is 2 times as large as 3, so you would multiply 17 by 2 to get an equal proportion.
3 × 2 = 6
17 × 2 = 34
Your final answer is y = 34. Hope this helps! :)
