4. Tom (Problem 3) received a bank statement for his account showing a monthly charge of $3.75, a check for $41.32
that has not yet been cashed, and a balance of $434.99. Explain how he reconciled the two balances by showing
the mathematical process he used to arrive at a balance of $434.99 for his checkbook, also.
Find the current halance for Jonah's savings account if he had a balance of $878. 43

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
