A^-b is the same as 1/a^b.
When there is a negative power, place the number and power over 1.
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c).
c is a negative power, because it is being divided, and is underneath b, which is a positive (and so it stays in the numerator).
a^c/b^c = (a/b)^c
Inside this one, the power of c is distributed to all numbers inside the parenthesis, in this case a and b.

Answer: The price for the computer = $1152
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first boy = F
Let the second boy = S
Let the price of computer = C
The second boy had 5/ 6 of the money the first had. I.e
S = 5/6 F
Then F = 6/5S ......(1)
The first boy had 7 /8 of the price of the computer. That is
F = 7/8C ....... (2)
Substitute F in (1) into (2)
6/5S = 7/8C
S = 5/6 × 7/8C
S = 35/48C ......(3)
Together they had $696.00 more than they need to pay. That is
F + S = C + 696 ........ (4)
Substitute equation 2 and 3 into 4
7/8C + 35/48C = C + 696
0.875C + 0.729C = C + 696
0.604C = 696
C = 696/0.604
C = 1152 dollars
Therefore, the price for the computer = $1152
