1st it: g(2)=3(2)=6 || 2nd it: g^2(2)=3(6)=18 || 3rd it: g^3(2)=3(18)=54
We want to find the value of the 8 in 281,480,100
Let's find the place value of each of the numbers:
2 - hundred millions
8 - ten millions
1 - millions
4 - hundred thousands
8 - ten thousands
0 - thousands
1 - hundreds
0 - tens
0 - ones
I see there are two 8's so I wouldn't be too sure of which value to find, but just in case, we have the chart made above for place values.
There is one 8 at the ten millions value.
There is one 8 at the ten thousands value.
Total hours worked = 5 x 3 = 15 hours
Amount collected = 50 x 15 = $750
Amount paid to the paralegal = 30 x 15 = $450
Amount made by the firm = 750 - 450 = $300
2.5 yards is $15 so you divide 15 by 2.5 and you would get the cost of each yard, which is $6 per yard :)
