Question

If each of the 3.0 x 10 power4 people employed by sunny motors earned 4.0 x 10 power4 dollars last year, how much money did the company pay out to its employees?

Answer 1

`12 * 10^8` dollars

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of employees =
`3.0* 10^4`

Money earned by each employee =
`4.0* 10^4`

To find:

Money to be paid out by Sunny Motors to its employees.

Solution:

Here, we are given the number of employees in the company and the salary to be paid out to each employee.

We can find out the total money to be paid out simply by multiplying the total number of employees by the salary to be paid out to each employee.

Total money to be paid out =
`(3* 10^4) * (4* 10^4)`

Using Formula:

`(x^a) * (x^b) = x^((a+b))`

Total money to be paid out =
`(3* 10^4) * (4* 10^4) = 12* 10^((4+4)) = 12* 10^8\ dollars`
