Let us take the case of 7 pounds for $8.47 first.
7 pounds of a product costs = 8.47 dollars
Then
1 pound of the same product will cost = (8.47/7) dollars
= 1.21 dollars
Now let us take the case of 9 pounds for $11.07
9 pounds of a product costs = 11.07 dollars
Then
1 pound of the same product will cost = (11.07/9) pounds
= 1.23 dollars
So from the above deductions we can see that 9 pounds for $11.07 is a better buy than 7 pounds for $8.47. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can use this method for solving similar problems.
The first step to do is to calculate first the total
household waste generate for the two years. That is:
total waste generated = 23,400,000 tons + 48,100,000 tons
total waste generated = 71,500,000 tons
Now, to write either a very big number or a very small number
in a form of scientific notation simply means to write it in a decimal form
such as: 12.5 * 10^10
Now to write 71,500,000 in scientific notation, the decimal
form is 7.15, however we still need to find out the * 10^n factor. The value of
n depends on the number of places the decimal point was moved. If the movement
was from right to left, the value of n is positive and if the movement was from
right to left, the value of n is negative. Since the decimal point was moved by
7 places, hence the complete scientific notation is:
7.15 * 10^7 tons
