Property used: 'Power of a power'
We can raise a power to a power
(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8
This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.
All except combine like terms. Since you only have 1 variable.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
150 kids
Step-by-step explanation:
If 60 kids is 40% of the total kids, we can add another 60 to get 80% and then half of 60 (30) to bring the total up to 100% of the kids.
