Answer: 79.5

Explanation: Every positive exponent moves the decimal one place to the right. So if you are multiplying by one less decimal to get the same answer your starting number would have to be one place greater to the right.

If your exponents are negative numbers the decimal moves one place per each number to the left. You'll learn that later. Math is a blast! Enjoy it!
