Question

Last year a large trucking company delivered 8.0 x 105 tons of goods with an average value of $30,000 per ton. What was the total value of the goods delivered? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total value of the goods delivered $24 *10^9$ dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

Average value per tonne $30,000$ dollar

Number of tons delivered $= 8.0 * 10^5$

Total value of the goods delivered

$8.0 * 10^5 * 30,000\\= 24 *10^9$

Answer 2

The value will be:  30000 · 8.0 · 10^5  =  (240000) · 10^5  =  (2.4 · 10^5) · 10^5

   =  $2.4 · 10^10
