Answer 1

Just took the test

1.9 X 10 (squared)10

Explanation:

Answer 2

we have given that 9.5 *105 tons.

so total weight of the goods=
`9.5*105=997.5 ton`

we know that cost per ton is $20000.

so total cost of the goods=total weight *cost per ton

total cost=
`997.5*20000=$19950000`.

the csot of 997.5 ton is $19950000.
