Question

Daniel bought 10 billing machines. The price of the machines is such that the place value of the ten thousands digit is 50,000. Which of the following gives the price of the billing machines?

• A. $59,230
• B. $75,780
• C. $98,750
• D. $5,260

Answer 1

The correct option is A $59,230

The prices given are 59,230, 75,780, 98,750, and 5,260 dollars.

For the price 59,230,
the place value of the tens thousands digit = 5 $\times$ 10000 = 50000

This price satisfies the given condition.



The next price given is 75,780 dollars.

For 75,780, the place value of the ten thousands digit = 7 $\times$ 10000 = 70000

This does not satisfy the given condition.


The next price given is 98,750 dollars.

For 98750, the place value of the ten thousands digit = 9 $\times$ 10000 = 90000

This does not satisfy the given condition.

The last price given is 5,260 dollars.

This number does not contain any ten thousands digit.

Hence, it does not satisfy the given condition.

Hence, the price of the billing machines = 59,230 dollars
