Answer:

original price of skateboard = $54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the skateboard be x

selling price = one third off the original price = $36

x - (1/3x) = 36

\frac{x}{1} - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{3x-x}{3} = \frac{2x}{3}

\frac{2x}{3} = 36\\2x = 108\\x = \frac{108}{2} = 54

∴ x = 54

15.5 rounded to the nearest tenth
Degger [83]
<span>The tenths place is to the right of the decimal point.</span>
In order to round u number to the nearest tenth, you should <span>to the right of the tenths place. Depending on this number you should determine if you will round up or stay the same (if it is bigger than 5 you will round up, if not it will stay the same).
In our case, the number is 15.5 so it is already rounded to the nearest tenth.

Simplify the expression 5^3 x 5^-5
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5^2} --- 1 over 5 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying terms with a common base, you just add the exponents:

x^a\times x^b=x^{a+ b}

That's true even when you don't have any exponents.

5\times5=5^1\times5^1=5^{1+1}=5^2=25

\rightarrow5^3\times5^{-5}\\\rightarrow5^{3-5}\\\rightarrow5^{-2}

A negative exponent isn't fully simplified, so there's another rule to use:

x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}

That is '1 over x to the y' if it's too small to read.

\rightarrow5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}
