Last year a large trucking company delivered 4.5 × 105 tons of goods with an average value of $22,000 per ton. what was the total value of the goods delivered? write the answer in scientific notation.

The answer is 9.9 × 10⁹ dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to multiply the tons delivered by the trucking company with the average value of a ton.

Then, you have:

4.5 × 10⁵ tons · 22.000 dls/tons  // tons/tons = 1 ; 22.000 = 22 × 10⁴ in scientific notation

4.5 × 10⁵ · 22 × 10⁴ dls //  solve by definition 10⁵ · 10⁴ = 10⁹

(4.5·22) × 10⁹ = 9.9 × 10⁹ dls.
