Last year, a large trucking company delivered  tons of goods with an average value of $23,000 per ton. What was the total value of the goods delivered? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Hello, Favour,

delivered  tons of goods with an average value of $23,000 per ton

(5.5x10⁵ tons)*(2.3x10⁴$/ton) = (5.5*2.3)x10⁹$

$12.65x10⁹

$1.265x10¹⁰

[Bonus: 1.265x10¹⁰ is 1.6 times as many people alive today on Earth. My trucking company transported goods that earned $1.60 per human on Earth. It was lower prior to the pandemic.]

Answer 2

Total value = (5.5 × 10⁵)(2.3 × 10⁴) = $1.265 × 10¹⁰
