you can answer part a, but i don't think you can answer part b.

assuming 365 days in a year, part a would give you 2.5 * 10^12 / 365 = 6,849,315,068.

that's 6 billion, 849 million, 315 thousand, 068.

part b asks how many dollars on any particular day.
that can't be determined from the data.
each particular day can be different aqnd there's no way of telling what values are on any particular day.
