5^-3 is 1/125
The negative in the exponent makes it so there is a 1 over the problem if there was no negative. When you have a negative in the exponent, the answer will be the reciprocal (opposite) of the question with no negative.
For example,
9^2 = 81
9^-2 = 1/81
Two cheaper books = x
more expensive = 1.5x
so, 2.5x=150
150/2.5=x=60
therefore the more expensive book = 90
