Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
9x+9=25+x
9x-x=25-9
8x=16
x=2
10% of $15 = 15/10= 1.5
1.5 x 2= 3 = 20%
15-3=12
Therefore the towel will be $12 with a 20% of coupon
You are trying so solve
<span><span>3^x</span>=8</span>
and since 8 is not an integral power of x you need a calculator.
it is <span><span>ln(8)/</span><span>ln(3)</span></span>
or
<span><span><span>log(8)/</span><span>log(3)</span></span></span>
45÷50=90%
if that is what you are looking for
