Taylor bought 5 dozen oranges. 30% of the oranges were used to make juice and 15% of the oranges were given to his daughter. Find the number of oranges he had left?

1 dozen is 12. 5x12=60 oranges. 60x30%=18 oranges. 60x15%=9 oranges. 18+9=27 oranges. 60-27=33 oranges left for Taylor.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
