For every +10%5E%28-1%29+ , move the
decimal point 1 place to the left
----------------------------
What you have is:
+4.73%2A10%5E%28-1%29+%2A+10%5E%28-1%29+%2A+10%5E%28-1%29+
or, what is the same thing:
+4.73%2A%28+.1+%29%2A%28+.1+%29%2A%28+.1+%29+
--------------------------
So, starting with:
+4.73+
+.473+
+.0473+
+.00473+ answer
