75.25x + 3604 = 300.50x
300.50x - 75.25x = 3604
225.25x = 3604
x = 16
Both companies charged the same at 16 tons
first answer 16 tons
--------------------
300.50x = 300.50(16) = $4,808
both companies charged the same are $4,808
second answer is $4,808
Cool! So OK I'll take you through it.
You just need to take everything 1 step at a time, as you might already know.
First
3 to the second is 9
Second
The first part included like this 9*(3 to the third) which is 243
Third
The second part is included into the question like 243*(3 to the fourth) which is 243*81
Fourth
243*81 = 19,683
Your Answer
(3^2)*(3^3)*3^4) = 19,693
Hope That Helps and Correct Me If I'm Wrong!
Digit 3 has a value of 3*10000
Let the number of rows be = r
Let the number of seats per row be = s
we know that the number of seats is 126.
So, 
..... (1)
As given, there are five more seats per row than the number of rows, so we can say that:
Putting this in equation (1)
r=-14 and r=9 (neglecting the negative value) we get r=9
And s=r+5
so, s =9+5=14
Hence, there are 5 rows and 14 seats per row.
I got 1/81
hope this helps.
