Question

If each of the 3.0 x 10 power4 people employed by sunny motors earned 4.0 x 10 power4 dollars last year, how much money did the company pay out to its employees?

Answer 1

Answer:

$12 \times 10^8$ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of employees = $3.0\times 10^4$

Money earned by each employee = $4.0\times 10^4$

To find:

Money to be paid out by Sunny Motors to its employees.

Solution:

Here, we are given the number of employees in the company and the salary to be paid out to each employee.

We can find out the total money to be paid out simply by multiplying the total number of employees by the salary to be paid out to each employee.

Total money to be paid out = $(3\times 10^4) \times (4\times 10^4)$

Using Formula:

$(x^a) \times (x^b) = x^{(a+b)}$

Total money to be paid out = $(3\times 10^4) \times (4\times 10^4) = 12\times 10^{(4+4)} = 12\times 10^8\ dollars$
