Question

Sarah has two boxes of chocolates, each containing 500 chocolates. Express the total number of chocolates with Sarah in the exponential form.

• A. ${10}^3$
• B. $2^{10}$
• C. ${10}^2$
• D. ${10}^4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${10}^3$

Total number of chocolates
$=500\times 2$
= 1000
This is equivalent to $10\times 10\times 10={10}^3$
Hence, the total number of chocolates with Sarah in the exponent notation $={10}^3$
