I'll start by expanding everything, and 10^(x) means we move the decimal x places to the right. If we move the decimal to the right but there's no number there, that number is 0.
The populations are as follows (in the order in the graph) -
127,180,000
200,000,000
80,619,000
63,708,000
173,615,000
152,510,000
The first difference is the number of digits. The more, the better. The two that stand out at the bottom are Germany and the UK. Next, we look at the leftmost number. Since 6<8, Germany's population > UK's population. All other countries are greater than Germany. Next, we look at the next smallest amount of digits, which is every other country. We look at the first number, which gives us Japan, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Next, we look at the second number, and since 2<5<7, Japan is smaller than Bangladesh and Nigeria is bigger than Bangladesh. Our current list is as follows:
United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Japan, Bangladesh, Nigeria. Since Brazil
has been proven to be greater than the rest (as it has more digits and 2>1), our list is now
United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Japan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Brazil
First we want to calculate exactly how much money Bernice sells on a daily basis, so we can determine how many days it'll take to earn 2,430 dollars. We can do this by multiplying the amount of shells she sells every day by the amount she sells them for. So 135 sea shells multiplied by 3 dollars.
<u>135 * 3</u>
This comes up to 405 dollars every day, quite a significant amount considering she's selling shells. Now, divide 2,430 dollars by 405 dollars. This will give us the final result.
<u>2,430 / 405</u>
It will take Bernice exactly 6 days to earn 2,430 dollars.
