8^-3 is the answer.. when two numbers of the same base in a fraction form are stacked on top of each other, the exponents always SUBTRACT.. so 3-6 is -3 and the base stays the same :)

Justine received a bonus check from her work for $6000. She is going to deposit the money into her bank account that receives 5%

Digiron [165]

Assuming the inteest is annual, since it's simple that means we just have to analyze:

$A=P(1+r)^t$ , where r is our interest rate as a decimal, t is time, p is our principal investment and A is our ending value. So, in the context of our problem this becomes:

$A=6000(1.05)^5$ , which when evaluated by our trusty calculator becomes:

7657.68938,

which is rounded to 7500 in the problem.

Smith has p small balloons and 20 big balloons write the expression that shows how many balloons smith has?

Nitella [24]

Smith's balloon is an algebraic expression

The expression that represents how many Balloons Smith has is p + 20

<h3>How to determine the number of ballons?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Small = p

Big = 20

Add the number of small and big ballons to get the total number of ballons

Total = Small + Big

This gives

Total = p + 20

Hence, the expression that represents how many Balloons Smith has is p + 20
