Answer:
The output expected in 2016 is 1.6488 x 10 ^9 or 1.6488 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
The output is decreased by 8.4% from 2006 to 2016.
Amount of output in 2006 = 1.8 billion dollars
Decrease in output = 8.4%
We need to find the 8.4% of 1.8 billion dollars and then subtract the result from 1 billion dollars.
We know 1.8 billion = 1,800,000,000 or 1.8 x 10^9
8.4% of 1.8 billion = 8.4/100 * (1.8 x 10^9)
= 151200000
So, Output expected in 2016 = 1.8 x 10^9 - 151200000
= 1648800000 or 1.6488 x 10 ^9
So, the output expected in 2016 is 1.6488 x 10 ^9 or 1.6488 billion.
