If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they have the same base as 2, by the rule of a^m / a^n = a^m-n.
So 2^7 / 2^3 = 2^ 7-3 = 2^4 = 16
Answer:
x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?
Mathematically this is expressed as
(1/x)⁵
We have a rule when it comes to expressing power
(1/a)^b = a^-b
Hence, applying this rule to our question
(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5
= x^-5
This is written in words as:
x to the power of negative 5
