Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 5
B) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 4
C) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 3
D) 4⁰ = 4 ÷ 4 = 1
4⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 4 = 
4⁻² =
÷ 4 = 
E) 3⁰ = 3 ÷ 3 = 1
3⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 3 = 
3⁻² =
÷ 3 = 
Answer:
$400 and $1,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the x be the amount invested in 7% account
And, 600 + x be the amount invested in 9% account
Now the equation is
7x% + 9%(600 + x) = $118
0.07x + 54 + 0.09x = $118
0.16x = $118 -$54
0.16x = $64
x = $400
And, the other one is = $400 + $600 = $1,000
26% less than a value is best found by multiplying by (100 - 26)% = 74% = 0.74
So previous year x 0.74 = 40,700
Previous year = 40,700 / 0.74 = $55,000
