26 ⋅ 26^8
Multiply by adding the exponents:
Raise 26 to the power of 1 to get:
26^1 * 26^8
Now when you multiply the same number raised to different powers, you add the powers together:
26^1 * 26^8 = 26^(8+1) = 26^9
So 26 * 26^8 simplifies is 26^9
9$ for three cans then 9/3= 3 $ per can
6b + 6p = 33.60 ; b=2.90
6(2.90) + 6p = 33.60
17.40 + 6p = 33.60
-17.40 -17.40
6p = 16.20
/6 /6
p = 2.70
