Let's break it down into something more simple:
What's 10 times 10? 100
What's 10 times 10 times 10? 1000
Do you see a pattern? (Cool trick - The number of 10s match the number of 0s in the answer)
We have seven 0s in our answer, so let's check:
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000,000
An exponent tells us that we're multiplying the big number by itself however many times the little number in the corner tells us.
So if we multiply 10 by itself 7 times (what we did above), then our answer will be 10 to the power of 7, or 
. This is equal to 10,000,000.

1. You can expand the coefficients to yield 6, and add the powers since the bases are the same (ie A)
2. y⁻² can also be rewritten as 1/y², so it becomes 1/y² · 1/y⁵ = 1/y⁷ (ie C)
3. Only the x is affected by the power.
4. y = 3·5ˣ doesn't change in slope, so it essentially is similar to a 5ˣ graph.
5. Should be pretty straight forward.
6. Should be pretty straight forward.
7. Should be pretty straight forward.
8. Since x is the length of the border, calculate the area of the frame and subtract that from the area of the square painting. (Remember that the length of the square painting is x - 8, not x - 4)
9. Should be pretty straight forward.
11 - 25 are pretty much similar to each other.

Answer:
$169.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the friends spent ...
$14.95 +6.99 +2.25 = $24.19
The seven friends together spent ...
7($24.19) = $169.33
$78
The difference between choice A and B is 5 meals and $80 so 1 meal is $16. So we can subtract $16 from $250 and we get $234 for 3 nights. 1 night is $78
