The payroll department provides services for several plants in the city of yee haw junction. the payroll department's budget is $100,000, and it issues 4,000 checks every other week. the lighting plant has 1,000 employees. how much should the lighting plant be charged by the payroll department for its services?

The answer is $25,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, the Payroll Department's budget is $100,000, and it issues 4,000 checks every other week. The lighting plant has 1,000 employees.

Hence, the lighting plant charge rate will be = total Payroll Department's budget divided by total service department usage

= 25

Now as there are total 1000 employees, the total charge becomes :

= $25,000

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
