Question

Savemore National bank starts the day with 2.81 times 10^4 dollars in the vault. At the end of the day, the bank has 3.5 times 10^5 dollars in the vault. How much more money is in the vault at the end of the day than there was in the morning ?

Answer 1

There is

`3.219* {10}^(5)`

more money in the vault in the evening than in the morning.

Step-by-step explanation

The amount of money in the vault in the morning is

`2.81 * {10}^(4)`

The amount of money in the vault at the end of the day is:

`3.5 * {10}^(5)`

To find how much more money is in the vault at the end of the day than there was in the morning, we subtract to get:

`3.5 * {10}^(5) - 2.81 * {10}^(4)`

`= 3.5 * 100000 - 2.81 * 10000`

`350000 - 28100= 321900`

Therefore, there is

`3.219* {10}^(5)`

more money in the vault.
