Logarithms.

100%5E%284%2F5%29=100%5E%280.8%29
log%2810%2C100%5E%280.8%29%29%7D%7D%0D%0A%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B0.8%2Alog%2810%2C100%29
0.8%2A2
1.6

--
Now, find antilog of 1.6, base 10.
Using handheld calculator, antilog%281.6%29=highlight%2839.81%29.

Also, again with handheld calculator, 100, [y^x], [=], gives result 39.81.
