Problema Solution
A family refers to a group of two or more people related by birth, marriage, or adoption who reside together. In 2000, in Country A, the average family net worth was $250,000, and there were about 8.9 x 10^7 families. Calculate the total family net worth in Country A in 2000. (Use scientific notation. You can use "x" to represent multiplication here, but MyMathLab will want you to use the multiplication symbol in the math palette. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Answer provided by our tutors
Multiply the nett worth per family by the number of families.
250 000 x 8.9 x 10^7
=2.5 x 10^5 x 8.9 x 10^7
=22.25 x 10^12
=2.225 x 10^13
