let's say the original number is "a".

Answer:
That sign means raise to power e.g 5^2.
5 in 2 places which is 25.
Also meaning 5× 2= 25
Just find 80% of 60 players: 0.80(60 players) = 48 players are rt. handed.
What ?..
where’s the image , try reuploading an image :)
other than that have an amazing day_-^
Equation = $5x + $200= $450
1. $5x + $200= $450
2. $5x = $450 - $200
3. $5x = $250
4. x = ($250/$5)
5. x = 50 reams of paper
