62% Answer Correctly
1.356 x 105
0.136 x 107
1.356 x 106
1.356 x 10-5
Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

1,356,000 in scientific notation is 1.356 x 106

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $42, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$60.90
$54.60
$46.20
$73.50
Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $42 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$42 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1050}{100} \) = $10.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$42.00 + ($42.00 - $10.50)
$42.00 + $31.50
$73.50
