Question

• A. 1,000 + 200 + 70 + 5
• B. 10,000 + 2,000 + 700 + 50
• C. 100,000 + 20,000 + 7,000 + 5
• D. 7,000 + 200 + 50

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10,000 + 2,000 + 700 + 50

Aaron's monthly income is 20,000 dollars.

Money he spent = 7,250 dollars

Remaining money = 20,000 - 7,250

= 12,750 dollars

Thefore, the money left with him = 12,750 dollars

To find the expanded form, let us place the number in the place value chart.


Here, 1 is in ten thousands place, 2 is in thousands place, 7 is in hundreds place, and 5 is in tens place.

Hence, the expanded form is 10,000 + 2,000 + 700 + 50
