Let s be the annual sales​ (in millions) for a particular electronic item. The value of s is 55.6 for 2005. What does s​ = 55.6 mean in this​ situation?

Question

The given situation means that in the year ___, ___ million of this electronic item were sold.

Answer 1

Hello, Nikki,

S represents the annual sales, in million of some unit. We're not told the currency, so it could be dollars, yuan, pounds. krona, pesos, euros, whatever. When s = 55.6, add the descriptor to the number:

55.6 million

You can use your imagination as to what currency unit is referenced. But it is not needed to answer the question. [I like Iceland, so I'll mentally use krona.]
