Answer:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the
10
. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
The answer is 9x10 to the positive 16 power
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Key to this question is assume that each exchange preserves the total dollar amount of Nick’s money.
If He exchanges all his $5 bills for $1 bills, it means that a $5 bill will result in 5 $1 bills as such, if he had x number of $5 bill, after the exchange, he would have 5x $1 bills.
then all his $20 bills for $5 bills, it means that for each $20 bill, he gets 4 $5 bills which means that if he had y number of $5 bills, after the exchange, he would have 4y $5 bills.
and finally all his $100 bills for $20 bills, then he must have received 5 $20 bills for each $100 such that if he had z number of $100 bills before the exchange, he would have 5z number of $20 bills after the exchange. Given that originally he had 17 bills and later 77 bills then
x + y + z = 17
5x + 4y + 5z = 77
Multiplying the first equation by 5,
5x + 5y + 5z = 85
5x + 4y + 5z = 77
subtract 2 from 1
y = 8
