Question

Two vendors have given the price of 10 trophies.


Select the vendor who has offered the lower cost.

• A. Vendor X
• B. Vendor Y
• C. Both the vendors have offered the same price.
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vendor Y

Cost of trophies offered by two vendors are:
Vendor X = 11,528 dollars
Vendor Y = 11,238 dollars

To identify which vendor has offered the lower cost, we will first write the numbers in the place value chart.


In the given numbers, the numbers at ten thousands place and thousands place are same.

So, we compare the digits at the hundreds place as they are all different.


We can clearly see that 2 is the smaller digit.

So, 11,238 is the smallest number.

∴ Vendor Y has offered the lower cost.
