Question

Last year , a large trucking company delivered 5.5*10^5 tons goods with a average value of $23,000 per ton . What was the total value of the goods delivered ? Write your answer in scientific notation .

Please , I have to do this before bed time . Can you help me ?
Thank you :)

Answer 1

5.5*10^5 = 550,000 tons

$23,000 per ton

23,000 x 550,000 = $12,650,000,000 (total value)

Now to convert to scientific notation.

1.265 x 10^10

Hope that was useful :)
