To find the total value of the goods delivered, we need to multiply the number of tons by the value per ton.
The number of tons delivered is given as 8.0 x 10^5 tons.
The value per ton is given as $30,000.
Multiplying these two values:
(8.0 x 10^5) x (30,000) = 2.4 x 10^11
Therefore, the total value of the goods delivered is 2.4 x 10^11 dollars.
Last year a large trucking company delivered 8.0 x 105 tons of goods with an average value of $30,000 per ton. What was the total value of the goods delivered? Write the answer in scientific notation.
2.4 x 109 dollars
2.4 x 1010 dollars
2.4 x 1011 dollars
2.4 x 1012 dollars
