Equate P as 62.10 since we are looking for the MAX value for x (then a legitimate one if necessary)
(20 + 0.5x) + (3 + 0.075x) = 62.1
= 0.575x + 23 = 62.1
x = (62.1-23)/0.575
x = 680
When multiplying exponents, remember the first rule: when multiplying similar bases, add powers together. 52% + 56% =? The bases of the equation remain unchanged, while the exponents' values are added together. Adding the exponents is only a quick way to get at the answer. Simply add the exponents to multiply exponential expressions with the same base. Simplify. The product rule applies because the base of both exponents is a. With a common basis, add the exponents.
Answer: Second option
Explanation: As u can see the fraction is being multiplied 3 times.
Firstly, you have to calculate the 25 percent of the 32 apples which is 32 x 0.25 = 8. So the leftover apples would be 32 - 8 = 24. Since she divided the rest equally among 6 pies, you have to divide 24 by 6, which is 4.
Therefore there are 4 apples in each pie.
