Question

Tom was searching for a flight ticket to America, he noticed that the price of the ticket is listed as Rs $5.36\times {10}^4$ in HOLIDAY and in GOTRIP, it showed Rs 53,509. He compared both the prices and booked the ticket from GOTRIP as it is cheaper. Is he correct?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Yes

In order to compare both the prices, let's write both the numbers in normal form.
$5.36\times {10}^4=53600$ (move the decimal point 4 places to the right)

53509 is less than 53600, so it is cheaper. Hence, the price listed in GOTRIP is cheaper.
