Question

Each year, roughly 10^6 computer programmers each make $10^5. How much money is this all together? Express your answer both as a power of 10 and as a dollar amount.

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Amount made by each computer programmer = $10⁵

Number of computer programmers = 10⁶

Problem;

How much money is this all together  = ?

Solution:

  The total money can be found using;

                   = Amount made by each programmer x number of programmers

                   = $10⁵ x 10⁶

                   = $10¹¹

As a power of ten, the amount made is $10¹¹

In dollar amount  = $100,000,000,000
