Answer
The amount of money made by motion pictures in year 2010 is \[1.0586\times {{10}^{10}}\]dollar.
Work Step by Step
From the given data to calculate the amount of money made by motion picturemultiply both the values.
First convert the number of tickets and average price in Scientific notation. \[1\text{ million}=1\times {{10}^{6}}\]
The number of tickets is:
\[\begin{align}
& 1340\text{ million}=1340\times {{10}^{6}} \\
& =\left( 1.340\times {{10}^{3}} \right)\times {{10}^{6}} \\
& =1.340\times \left( {{10}^{3+6}} \right) \\
& =1.340\times {{10}^{9}}
\end{align}\]
Average Price per ticket = $ 7.90
Amount of money made is:
\[\begin{align}
& \text{The number of tickets sold }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ Average Price per ticket=}\left( 1.340\times {{10}^{9}} \right)\times \left( 7.90 \right)=10.586\times {{10}^{9}} \\
& =1.0586\times {{10}^{10}}
\end{align}\]
Hence, the amount of money made by motion pictures in year 2010 is \[1.0586\times {{10}^{10}}\]dollar.
