A company makes baseball cards in packs of 10, boxes of 100, and cases of 1,000. A store orders a total of 15,470 cards. How can the company fill the order in the exact amount?
Answer: The company can fill the order in exact numbers as:
15 cases, 4 boxes, 7 packs
15 cases contain [tex]15 \times 1000=15000[/tex] cards
4 boxes contain [tex]4 \times 100 =400[/tex] cards
7 packs contain [tex]7 \times 10 = 70[/tex] cards
Therefore, the total cards are:
[tex]15000 + 400 + 70 = 15,470[/tex]
