Joe has some pocket money. He spends 90% of it. He has 50p left. How much pocket money did he have?

So he spent 90% of a number and had 50 left
£5. This is because 50p is 10%. To get 100% you therefore need to times 50p by 10, thus getting £5
Hope this helps!

Answer:

(a)

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}$

(b)

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}$

(c)

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125$

(d)

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$5^{-3}$

we can use property of exponent

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

we get

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5^3}$

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}$

$5^{-3}=\frac{1}{125}$ ........Answer

(b)

$-5^{-3}$

we can use property of exponent

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

we get

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5^3}$

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{5\times 5\times 5}$

$-5^{-3}=-\frac{1}{125}$ ........Answer

(c)

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}$

we can use property of exponent

$(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}$

we get

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^{-3\times -1}$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^3$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)\times (-5)\times (-5)$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=-125$ ........Answer

(d)

$(-5^{-3})^{0}$

we can use property of exponent

$(a^{n})^m=a^{m\times n}$

we get

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=(-5)^{-3\times 0}$

$(-5^{-3})^{-1}=(-5)^0$

we can use property

$a^0=1$

$(-5^{-3})^{0}=1$ ........Answer

Find the discount price and subtract from the total to find the sale price.

To find the discount price, multiply 90 b 40% (convert 40% into decimal)

90 x 0.4 = 36

Next, subtract the discount from the total to find the sale price.

90 - 36 = 54

So, the sale price is <u>$54</u>.
