Express the answer in scientific notation to two decimals. A company produced 2,600,000 small appliances in one year and made a profit of $6,690,000. What was the profit on each appliance?
The profit on each appliance is the profit per appliance or profit/# of appliances.

6,690,000/2,600,000
= $2.57
Scientific notation is stating the number as a single digit number times the appropriate power of 10. That would be 10^1 in this case or 2.57 * 10^1.
