Question

1,000 people joined a fundraising event. The cost of a ticket for the event is 15.60 dollars. Find the total money collected in the event.

• A. 156,000 dollars
• B. 156 dollars
• C. 1,560 dollars
• D. 15,600 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is D 15,600 dollars

Price of one ticket = 15.60 dollars

Number of people who joined the event = 1,000

Total money collected = 15.60 $\times$ 1000 dollars

To mulitply a number by 1000, we have to add three zeros to the right of the number.

$⟹$ 15.60 $\times$ 1000 = 15,600 dollars

Hence, total money collected = 15,600 dollars
