3+16=19,
3+20=23
So the correct answer would be 19 and 23
Ok, a fun hack
if f⁻¹(a)=b then f(b)=a
so if f⁻¹(7)=b then f(b)=7
to find b, find x such that f(x)=7
7=0.5(3)^x
times both sides by 2 (or divide both sides by 0.5)
14=3^x
take log₃ of both sides

Answer:
B. 40 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
First take the new price minus the original price
