Answer 1

Answer:

19.2 million.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the amount of savings per center by dividing 2.4 by 2.

$\text{Amount of savings per center}=\frac{2.4\text{ Million}}{2\text{ Center}}$

$\text{Amount of savings per center}=1.2\frac{\text{ Million}}{\text{ Center}}$

Hence, the company saved 1.2 million per center.

Let us multiply savings of each center by total number of company's distribution centers to find the total amount of money that the company can be expected to save.    

$\text{Total amount of company's savings}=(1.2\times 16)\text{ million}$

$\text{Total amount of company's savings}=19.2\text{ million}$

Therefore, Mr. Ortiz's company will save 19.2 million.
