Question

Alice bought a dining table. Its price is the smallest number formed from the digits 2, 0, 1, and 4. No digit should be repeated. Her friends are guessing the price. Find who guesses the correct price.

• A. Emma
• B. Olivia
• C. Eva
• D. Jessica

Answer 1

The correct option is B Olivia

The prices told by her friends are given below.

To find the smallest number from the given digits, we have to place the digits from the smallest to the largest in the place value table.

Here, 0 is the smallest digit. If we use 0, the number become a three-digit number. Hence, we cannot use 0 at the thousands place.

The next smallest number is 1.
Let us arrange the remaining digits (0, 2,4) in the ascending order.


Hence, the price of the table = 1,024 dollars
