Answer:

less value

Step-by-step explanation:

To deterimine if value was improved or not, we need to compare the price reduction to the size reduction.

The reduction in price is ...

((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

= (42/50 -1) × 100% = -16%

The size reduction of 20% is more than the price reduction of 16%, so the chocolate bar is <em>less value</em>.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Compared to the original value, the new price to chocolate ratio is ...

0.84/0.80 = 1.05

Effectively, the price was raised by 5%.

3.8*10 to the 9th power divided by 4*10 to the 2nd power

user100 [1]

Answer:

$9.5\times 10^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide the coefficients and the exponentials separately

$\dfrac{3.8 \times 10^{9}}{4 \times 10^{2}} = \dfrac{3.8}{4} \times \dfrac{10^{9}}{10^{2}}$

2. Divide the coefficients

$\dfrac{3.8}{4} = 0.95$

3. Divide the exponentials

Subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.

$\dfrac{10^{9}}{10^{2}} = 10^{(9 - 2)} = 10 ^{7}$

4. Re-join the new coefficient and the new exponential

$\dfrac{3.8 \times 10^{9}}{4 \times 10^{2}} = 0.95 \times 10^{7}$

5. Put the new number into standard form

The number before the power of 10 must be greater than or equal to one and less than 10.

Multiply the answer by 10/10.

$(0.95 \times 10^{7}) \times \dfrac{10}{10} = (0.95\times10) \times \dfrac{10^{7}}{10} = \mathbf{9.5\times 10^{6}}$
