To find the total profit, we need to multiply the profit per day by the number of days.
Profit per day = $2.5 × 10^4
Number of days = 1 × 10^3
Total profit = Profit per day × Number of days
Total profit = $2.5 × 10^4 × 1 × 10^3
When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, we add the exponents and multiply the coefficients.
Total profit = $2.5 × 1 × 10^4 × 10^3
Total profit = $2.5 × 1 × (10^4 × 10^3)
Total profit = $2.5 × 1 × 10^7
Thus, the corporation's total profit during this time period is $2.5 × 10^7.
A corporation earned a profit of $2.5 × 10^4 for 1 × 10^3 days in a row. What was the corporation’s total profit during this time period? Write the answer in scientific notation.
