Answer: 1250
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost before vat
13/100x = 162.50
x = 162.50 x 100/13
x = 162.50 / 2.13
x = 1250
The answer is b. 1/27
3^-3=1/27 and 3^4=81. 1/27×81=3. 3×3=9. 3^-5=1/243. 1/243×9= 1/27. The answer is b. 1/27.

notice the equations in slope-intercept form, the first one has a slope of -1, the second one has a slope of 1.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is different, they lines are parallel.
if the slopes are equal, and the constant is the same the equations are exactly the same thing, and the lines are coincident, on slapped on top of the other.
if the slopes differ, like here, then they have a solution, where they
intersect.
The factory normally produces 800 reels a day.
They have to cut their production by 1/5, however.
800 * 4/5 = 640 reels a day.
30 days would mean 640 * 30 reels...19200 reels.
This is less than 20,000, so the factory will NOT be able to produce enough reels.
