Answer:
[tex]\$1.3\ *\ 10^{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
total value = tons of goods * value per ton
So,
[tex]= (5.5*10^5)\ *\ \$23,000 \\= 5.5\ *$ \ 23,000\ *$\ 10^5\\= \$126,500\ *$\ 10^5\\ =\$1.256\ *$\ 10^5\ *$\ 10^5\\=\$1.265\ *$\ 10^{5+5}\\\\Rounding\ off,\ we\ get,\\=\$1.3\ *\ 10^{10}[/tex]
