But lucky for us, there is a mathematical operator that is essentially repeated multiplication, and that's taking an exponent. So another way of writing that right over there, we could write that as 75% to the 10th power, repeatedly multiplying 75% 10 times. These are the same expression. And 75%, the word percent, literally means per hundred. You might recognize the root word cent from things like century, 100 years in a century, 100 cents in a dollar. So this literally means per hundred. So we could write this as 75 over 100 to the 10th power, which is the same thing as 0.75 to the 10th power.
