2.3 x 10^9 divided by 6.2 x 10^4 using scientific notation

For this case we have to divide the following quantities:

By definition of division of powers of equal base we have that the same base is placed and the exponents are subtracted, then:

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
