Justin and his friend Dan went to the movies. If they each bought popcorn for $4.25 and a soda for $2.25, what was their total bill after adding 5 ¼ % sales tax?

$6.84

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.25 + $2.25 = $6.50

5 1/4% in decimal form is 5.25%

6.50 multiplied by 5.25% = $0.34

$6.50 + $0.34 = $6.84

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
