Matt bought a home in 2001 and paid $150,000 for it. he sold the home for $450,000. how much of the profit on his home will be taxable this year?

profit to be taxable will be  $300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Matt home cost = $150,000

Matt sold his home for = $450,000

so,

cost price will  be  $150,000

selling price will be $450,000

         profit = selling price - cost price

         profit  =  $450,000  -  $150,000

         profit  =  $300,000

hence the taxable amount for his home this year will be $300,000

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.

66.666666667%

step-by-step explanation:

divide 150 by 100

divide 100 by 1.5

there you go!
