Answer: OPTION B
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must add the areas of each rectangle that form the prism;
The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the formula:

There are three pairs of equal rectangles, then you can find the surface area of 3 rectangles and multiply each one by 2, then you obtain that the surface area of the prism is:

You can convert (1/625) to an exponent, and it would be ideal to have 5 as the base of it because you want your log base to cancel it out. what i usually do in this case is just test out 5^1, 5^2, etc until i find one that matches the number i need. in this case because the number you're trying to work with is a small fraction, you'll want to use NEGATIVE exponents so it'll create a fraction instead of a large whole number:
5^-1 = 1/5
. . . keep trying those. . .
5^-4 = 1/625
so, because they're equal to one another, it'll be waaay easier after you substitute 5^-4 in place of 1/625
x = log₅ 5⁻⁴
log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1. subbing in the 5^-4 gets rid of the log for you altogether, and your -4 exponent drops down:
x = -4 is your answer
if the exponent dropping down doesn't make sense to you, you can think of it in another way:
x = log₅ 5⁻⁴
expand the expression so that the exponent moves in front of the log function:
x = (-4) log₅ 5
then, still, log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1, so you're left with:
x = (-4)1 or x = -4
Where is the graph I can help but I will need to see the graph
$15 + $32.50 + 8% = $51.30
15 + 32.50 = 47.50
8% × 47.50 = 3.80
47.50 + 3.80 = 51.30
