<h3>
Answer: 10^4</h3>
This is an exponential expression with 10 as the base and 4 as the exponent.
=============================================
Explanation:
We're dividing 10^8 over 10^4. When dividing like this, we subtract the exponents (numerator minus denominator). The bases must be the same value and they stay at the same value for the final answer as well.
The new exponent is 8-4 = 4 which is how we arrive at the answer 10^4.
Side note: 10^4 = 10,000 = ten thousand
Try, please, this:
1) Imagine, that pharmacist used 'x' gr. of 40% solution and 'y' of 70% solution.
Together (20 gr. of 52% sol.) it will be x+y=20.
2) From other side, the pharmacist combined 40x and 70y gramms, after obtaining together it is 52(x+y) gramms. In other words 40x+70y=52(x+y)
3)

Answer: 8 gr. of 70% solution and 12 gr. of 40%.
