Carter's salary is $1.1138⁶ more than Salma's salary.
How much larger is Carter's salary than Salma's?
To perform the difference, we need to be able to take a common factor.
We know that Salma's salary is $6.2×10⁴
While Carter's salary is $1.2×10⁶
To get the same common factor, 10⁴, we can divide and multiply Carter's salary by 100, so we get:
[tex]1.2*10^6*\frac{100}{100} = (1.2*100)*(10^6/100) = 120*10^4[/tex]
Then Carter's salary is $120*10⁴
The difference between Carter's and Salma's salaries is:
$120*10⁴ - $6.2×10⁴ = $113.8*10⁴
If we return to the scientific notation, we get:
$113.8*10⁴ = $1.1138⁶
This means that Carter's salary is $1.1138⁶ more than Salma's salary.
