Answer

The hotel made $\$ 2.31\cdot 10^{8}$ selling the condominiums.

Work Step by Step

Rewrite the given values in the scientific notation $N\cdot 10^{m},\ 1\leq N<10,\ N$ expressed in decimal notation, and $m$ as an integer. $110,000=1.1\cdot 10^{5}$ $2100=2.1\cdot 10^{3}$ $ 1.1\cdot 10^{5}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^{3}\qquad$...apply The Product Rule $a^{m}\cdot a^{n}=a^{m+n}$ to solve $10^{3}\cdot 10^{5}$. $=1.1\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^{5+2}\qquad$...simplify. $=2.31\cdot 10^{8}$
