The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case we have:
(5^-2)(5^-1)
5^(-2-1)
5^(-3)
The rule for negative exponents:
a^(-b)=1/(a^b)
So in this case:
5^(-3) is equal to
1/(5^3)
1/125
I think the answer is B 10.3. Hopefully this helped!! ( and hope I got it correct ) =“)

Step-by-step explanation:
40 dollars due up front
10 dollars made per sale
5 dollars lost per creation
Realistically speaking she is only making a $5 profit per box she sells;
<em>$5 used up for material cost, $10 made from sales </em><em>-5+10= 5</em>
To pay the $40 dollar for the booth she would need to make 9 sales with her current profit
<em>40/5 = 9</em>
