Question

Smiley spent $59,800 in 1,000 days. How much has she spent in a day, assuming that she has spent the same amount each day?

• A. 5.98 dollars
• B. 59.80 dollars
• C. 5.98 dollars
• D. 0.598 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is B 59.80 dollars

Total money spent in 1,000 days = 59,800 dollars

Money spent in one day = 59800 $÷$ 1000 dollars

To divide a number by 1000, we have to move decimal point three places to the left.

$⟹$ 59800 $÷$ 1000 = 59.80 dollars

Hence, money spent in one day = 59.80 dollars
