the owner of two hotels is ordering towels. he bought 11 hand towels and 22 bath towels for his hotel in Oxford, spending a total of $220. he also ordered 65 hand towels and 14 bath towels for his hotel in Greenpoint, spending $256. how much does each towel cost​

$4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

11+22+54+14=112

$220+$256= 476

476÷112=$4.25

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
