Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: We know that:
and we want:
.
We can form the numerator using just the first fact (since 5^2 is 25) and the denominator using the latter two (since 3*7 = 21).

The logarithm of a division can be expanded by subtracting the numerator and denominator (while still keeping the log). The logarithm of a product can be expanded by adding the terms while keeping the log. If the logarithm is raised to a power, we can bring it down as a factor:

.
Substituting the variables:

X = 9
you multiply both sides by 3 because you have to get rid of it and what you do to one side you do to the other then you divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. i hope that makes sense.
Given:
discount : 35%
Original cost : $124.50
Discount:
$124.50 x 35% = 43.575 ⇒ $43.58
Discounted price
$124.50 - 43.58 = $80.92
