Question

The price of an egg is 1.48 dollars. A restaurant has 20 branches throughout the state, placing an order for 10,000 eggs. How much are they charged?

• A. 14,800 dollars
• B. 1,480 dollars
• C. 148 dollars
• D. 148,000 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is A 14,800 dollars

Price of an egg = 1.48 dollars

Price of 10,000 eggs = 10,000 $\times$ 1.48 dollars

To multiply the decimal by 10000, we have to move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

$⟹$ 1.48 $\times$ 10,000 = 14,800 dollars

Hence, total cost of 10,000 eggs = 14,800 dollars
