Ms. Ford is buying bundles of virgin hair from She’s Happy Hair that costs $75 per bundle, but $42.50 for shipping. If Ms. Ford spent $567.50 total, how many bundles of virgin hair did she buy?

7 bundles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost per bundle is $75.

The cost for shipping is $42.50

She spent $567.50 in total.

The shipping is paid only one time, as all the bundles can be packaged togheter.

Then after paying the shipping, the left spent is:

$567.50 - $42.50 = $525

And each bundle costs $75, then the number of bundles that she bought will be equal to the number of times that we have $75 in $525. This is equal to the quotient between $525 and $75.

N = $525/$75 = 7

She bought 7 bundles

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

there still no table
