The federal cost for social security in scientific notation would be;

525 × 10⁹

= 5.25 ×10²×10⁹

= 5.25 ×10¹¹

For question b.)

The enrollment in Social security in scientific notation would be;

= 48×10⁹

= 4.8× 10¹×10⁹

= 4.8×10¹⁰

For question c.)

The yearly average per person benefit for social security

= 5.25 ×10¹¹+4.8×10¹⁰/2

= 52.5+4.8× 10¹⁰

= 57.3/2

= 28.65 × 10¹⁰

= 2.9× 10¹¹

For question d.)
