0.2=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=5^{-1}\ \ \ |used\ a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}\ for\ a\neq0\\\\25=5^2\\\\therefore\\\\0.2^x=25\to(5^{-1})^x=5^2\ \ \ |use\ (a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\5^{-1(x)}=5^2\\\\5^{-x}=5^2\iff-x=2\to\boxed{x=-2}\\\\check:\\\\0.2^x=0.2^{-2}=\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{-2}=5^2=25\ O.K.\ :)

You said                                                    <u>0.2^x = 25</u>

Take the logarithm of each side:     x log(0.2) = log(25)

Divide each side by  log(0.2):         x = log(25) / log(0.2)   

                                                              =  1.39794 / -0.69897  =<em>  -2  </em>

At a grocery store, an uncooked beef roast is on sale for $4.99/lb. At the same store, prepared roast beef is at the deli for $2
Mrrafil [7]
For us to find out how many times more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast we need to change the units;
cost of 100g=0.221lb is $2.99
cost of 1 lb will therefore be:
1/0.221*2.99
=$13.53/lb
therefore the number of times more expensive the deli roast is compared to uncooked roast is:
[price of 1lb roasted meat]/[price of 1 lb uncooked meat]
=13.53/4.99
=2.7 times
