A company used 7.4 x 105 sheets of paper a month, the accounting department used 8.9 x 103 sheets. How many were used by other departments during the month

Answer 1

731,100

7.311 × 10^5

Explanation:

The computation of the number of sheet used by other department is given below:

Given that

The company used 7.4 × 10^5 sheets of paper So it would be 740,000

And, The accounting department used 8.9 × 10^3 sheets so it would be 8,900

Now the number of sheet used by other department is

= 740,000 - 8,900

= 731,100

= 7.311 × 10^5
