What is this number in expanded form 29.601

There are several varieties of "expanded form." Pick the one that suits you.

29.601 = 20 + 9 + 0.6 + 0.00 + 0.001

29.601 = 2×10 + 9×1 + 6×.1 + 0×.01 + 1×.001

29.601 = 2×10¹ +9×10⁰ +6×10⁻¹ +0×10⁻² +1×10⁻³

I like the last form because it shows the nature of the place value system: each place represents some power of the number base. Here, the number is base-10. In other number bases, the 10 is replaced by the base value. In base-6, for example, the place value multipliers would be 6¹, 6⁰, 6⁻¹ and so on. (Of course the highest digit you would see in a base-6 number would be 5.) Once you understand this, you can do base conversions and arithmetic in any number base as easily as in base 10.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
