Ok...we got 250 people
30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.
This means 15% are from other countries
3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6
0.6(250) = 150 students <===
I think you meant to write
(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009
First, convert 0.00009 to scientific notation:
0.00009 = 9 × 10 ⁻⁵
Then
(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009 = (2 × 10⁶) × (9 × 10 ⁻⁵)
… = (2 × 9) × (10⁶ × 10 ⁻⁵)
… = 18 × 10¹
… = 1.8 × 10²
This is the power of powers law. It states that (a^b)^c is equal to a^b*c.
