Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have several properties of exponents in use here. The two that are used are:
<em>(Exponents with the same base that are being multiplied together can have the exponents added)</em>
<em>(A base raised to a power, and then raised to another power means that you can multiply the exponents to get the same result as doing inside operations and then outside operations)</em>
<em />
Let's apply it!
First, let's simplify what's inside the parenthesis.
<em>(Remember, they have the same base of "x", so we can add the exponents)</em>
= 
= 
Now we have 
. Let's use the second rule.
=

Answer:
it gets multiplied by the value of the root .that is just more concise way of writing it .
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that the farmer had bought the rice at x dollars per bag and had sold them at a 25% markup. How much did the bags cost him before he added the markup? 1.25x =$75 results in $75/1.25, or $60 per bag.
If he sold 25 bags, his profit would be 1.25($60/bag)(25 bags) = $1875.
I very seriously doubt that the rice was $7500 per bag. Perhaps you meant $75/bag...?
