charges $15.50 a portrait, but it costs him $3.25 in materials to make that portrait.
How much profit will Ron make from each portrait he paints (not including the daily
fee that the mall charges him)?
$12.00
$12.25
$12.50
$13.00

$12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

$12.25

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
