The correct answer is c
Just multiply 22000 by 4.5 and then write it in the scientific notation

Answer:

Option C - \(9.9 \times 10^9\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : last year a large trucking company delivered \(4.5\times10^5\) tons of goods with an average value of $22,000 per ton.

To find : What was the total value of the goods delivered?

Solution : Let the average value per ton =t

Average  value of the goods is  $22,000 per ton(t),

\(=\frac{2.2\times 10^4}{t}\)

Good delivered is \(4.5\times10^5\) tons (t).

Total value \(=\frac{2.2\times 10^4}{t}\times 4.5\times10^5\)

Total value \(=2.2\times 4.5 \times 10^9\)

Total value \(=9.9 \times 10^9\)

Therefore, Option C is correct.
