Hey guys! This looks like a scientific notation division problem but I'm a little fuzzy on it. Any ideas?

Ans) 0.30 $
1 kg of main ingredeint = 500 $
main ingredient in 1 capsule = 600 milligrams
1 kg = 10 ^ 6 milligrams
1kg = 10 ^ 6 milligrams costs 500 $
There fore, how much does 600 milligrams cost?
10 ^ 6 * X = 600 * 500
=> X = .30
