2023 AMC 8 Problems/Problem 11

Written Solution

Since the answers are so far apart, we just need to compute the # of figures the answer contains. So by approximating all the values for the hourly rate we have $\frac{300,000,000}{5 * 30 * 30} \approx \frac{300,000,000}{5000} = 60,000$ which is $\boxed{\text{(C)}60,000}$
