A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27 because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?
Hello!
To find the area of a rectangle you do length * width
You can plug in the values you know
(x - 2) * 5 = 30
Divide both sides by 5
x - 2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides
x = 8
The answer is 8
Hope this helps!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There are exponent rules I posted above that are being used here.
We have (3^-6)^-5
Since we have a power times a power, we multiply 6 and 5 to get -30. Look at the first example in the photo.
So, we're left with 3^-30.
If you look at the photo, there's a rule for negative exponents.
Take the inverse of the base number, so 3 in this case:
1 / 3
and then make the exponent positive after taking the inverse.
So, we should get 1 / 3^30
Hope this helps!
