# Each day people in a certain country purchase 3.2xx10^7 cans of beans. How many cans of beans are purchased in one​ year?

Nov 20, 2017

In one year the number of cans purchased would be: $1.2 \times {10}^{10} c a n s .$

#### Explanation:

Each day people buy $3.2 \times {10}^{7}$ cans of beans.

That is $32 , 000 , 000$ cans of beans per day.

So in one year the number of cans purchased would be:

$\frac{3.2 \times {10}^{7} c a n s}{\cancel{\mathrm{da} y}} \times 365 \cancel{\mathrm{da} y s} = 1168 \times {10}^{7} c a n s$

This will round off to: $\left(1.168 \times {10}^{3}\right) \times {10}^{7} c a n s = 1.2 \times {10}^{10} c a n s .$

That is $12 , 000 , 000 , 000$ cans of beans per year.
