A minor league baseball team wants to sell ad space on their outfield wall to local businesses. The team originally thinks about charging $250 per ad. However, the local businesses know that the more ads there
are, the less focus each individual ad will get, so they're not willing to pay as much per ad if they know there
will be more of them. The team does market research and finds that they can get $250 for one ad, $245 per
ad for two ads, $240 per ad for three ads, and so on. The total revenue from all the outfield banners is
calculated using the expression a(250 - 5(a - 1)). Interpret what the expression 250 - 5(a - 1) represents, and
explain your reasoning.

i think it is 70

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
