Question

Benjamin wants to buy a jersey online. Help him arrange the prices of the jerseys in ascending order. Which of the following gives the prices in ascending order?

• A. 45, 48, 43, 34
• B. 48, 45, 43, 34
• C. 34, 43, 45, 48
• D. 45, 48, 34, 43

Answer 1

The correct option is C 34, 43, 45, 48

The prices of the jerseys are 45, 48, 43, and 34 dollars.

Let us arrange them in ascending order using a place value chart.

Comparing the tens digits of the four prices, we find that 34 is the smallest number.

Of the remaining 45, 48, and 44, the tens digits of the numbers are same.

Comparing the ones digits, 5, 8, and 4, we find that 4 is the smallest.

Among the two prices 45 and 48, the ones digit of 45 is less than the ones digit of 48.


Hence, 34, 43, 45, 48 is the ascending order of the prices.
