Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2)^-3 x (-24)
(-2)^3 becomes 1/(-2)^3 in order to make the negative exponent a positive one.
then, you do 1/-8 (the -8 is the (-2)^3 simplified) x -24
1/-8 x (24) = 24/-8 = -3.
Hope this helps! :)

Now you have your answer:
Answer: 98.1%
Explanation:
A 10% sale means that the post-sale price of the item is now 90%, or 0.9 of the original cost of the item. We then apply 9% sales tax by multiplying the 0.9 by 109%, or 1.09. 0.9 * 1.09 = .981, so the total cost of the item is 98.1% of the original pre-sale sticker price.
For percentage problems that do not deal with a specific starting number, it is always helpful to plug in 100 for the starting number. Here, we would then have a post-sale price of 90 dollars, and if we calculate the sales tax for the 90-dollar item it would be 90 * 0.09 = $8.10. THis gives us a total cost of 90 + 8.10 = $98.10, or 98.1% of the original 100-dollar price.
Well first you would, subtract the gift certificate amount from the video game. Then you would subtract his total cash from the cost of the video game. The equation would look something like this: 45.50 - (59.95 - 15.25). The answer to your problem is yes he would have enough.
