Ajacket costs 50$ at the store evan has a coupon for 15$ off. max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the store. who will pay the least for the jacket

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the jacket at the store is $50.

Evan has a coupon for 15$ off. This means that the amount that Evans will pay is the original price - 15% of the original price. It becomes

50 - (15/100 × 50) = 50 - 7.5 = $42.5

Max pays only 0.6 of the price because his father works at the store.

This means that the amount that Max will pay is 0.6 × the original price. It becomes

0.6 × 50 = $30

Max will pay the least amount because his amount is smaller

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :
