The decrease is 25% so this means that 22 is 75% of the original number (100% - 25% = 75%)
Divide 22 by 75%:
22/ 0.75 = 29.3
The answer is 29.3
The quotient rule for exponents states that if we divide exponents with the same base, then we can subtract the exponents and keep the base unchanged.
I am not to sure but I would go for B. identity.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to find the sum of 
<em><u>Let us first convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>
Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator.
Then write the result on top of the denominator
Therefore,

Now we can add both the fractions

Make the denominators same

Now convert the fraction to mixed number
When we divide 53 by 10 , the remainder is 3
Therefore, write 5 as a whole number and and 3 as numerator and 10 as denominator

Thus the sum of given mixed fraction is
