800 + 70 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.07 + 0.004 Which of the following is equivalent to the expression above? A. 871.754 B. 871.574 C. 817.574 D. 8,710.754

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(800 + 70 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.07 + 0.004\), we can add the numbers step by step:

  1. Add \(800\) and \(70\): \[ 800 + 70 = 870 \]

  2. Add \(1\): \[ 870 + 1 = 871 \]

  3. Add \(0.5\): \[ 871 + 0.5 = 871.5 \]

  4. Add \(0.07\): \[ 871.5 + 0.07 = 871.57 \]

  5. Finally, add \(0.004\): \[ 871.57 + 0.004 = 871.574 \]

So, the final result is \(871.574\).

Among the options provided, the equivalent expression is:

B. 871.574
