Answer:

$40 was the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 0.1

36 / (1 - 0.1) = 40

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price - discount = sales price

discount = original price * percent off

Substituting this in

Original price - original price * percent off = sales price

Factor out the original price

Original price (1-percent off) = sales price

We know the sales price = 36

and we know the percent off = 10 percent = .1

Substituting in

Original price (1-.1) = 36

Original price (.9) = 36

Divide both sides by .9

Original price *.9/.9 = 36/.9

Original price = 40

Answer:

1st = 4×10 ^-9

2nd= 4×10^1

3rd = 4×10^7

4th = 4×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

for whole numbers you just have to count from the ending till the number indicated beside the x10

for decimals you count from the front starting at the decimal till you cover the whole number

Simplify the following expression as much as you can use exponential properties. (6^-2)(3^-3)(3*6)^4

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Solving:

$(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Applying exponent rule: $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

$=\frac{1}{(6^{2})}\frac{1}{(3^{3})}(18)^4\\=\frac{(18)^4}{6^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Factors of $18=2\times 3\times 3=2\times3^2$

Factors of $6=2\times 3$

Replacing terms with factors

$=\frac{(2\times3^2)^4}{(2\times 3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{(2)^4\times(3^2)^4}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Using exponent rule: $(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n}$

$=\frac{(2)^4\times(3)^8}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2}\:.\:3^{3}}$

Using exponent rule: $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$

$=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2+3}}\\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{5}}$

Now using exponent rule: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

$=2^{4-2}\times 3^{8-5}\\=2^{2}\times 3^{3}\\=4\times 27\\=108$

So, simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$
