A music store owner noted that CD sales had dropped 22% from one quarter to the next. If the owner sold 544 units in the first quarter, how many did she sell in the next quarter?

424.32

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first convert the percent to a decimal.

22% = 0.22

Then, you multiply the decimal to the units sold.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
