If the sales tax on 150 is 7.50, what is the percent of sales tax?

1 answer:

7 0

Let “T” represent the tax rate...
$150 x T = $7.50
Divide both sides by 150 to solve for T...
T = 7.5/150 = .05
So the tax is 5% (.05)

(a) $x^{-5}$

(b) $3x^{-7}$

Solution:

To write each of the given expression in the form $ax^n$ :

(a) $\frac{x^3}{x^8}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$\frac{x^3}{x^8}=x^{3-8}$

$$\frac{x^3}{x^8}=x^{-5}$

(b) $\frac{6x}{2x^8}$

Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 2, we get

$$\frac{6x}{2x^8}=\frac{3x}{x^8}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$=3x^{1-8}$

$$\frac{6x}{2x^8} =3x^{-7}$

Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 7, we get

$$\frac{28x^6}{21x^2}=\frac{4x^6}{3x^2}$

Using exponential rule: $\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

$$=\frac{4}{3}x^{6-2}$

$$\frac{28x^6}{21x^2}=\frac{4}{3}x^4$
