|
The value of a digit in a number depends on its position within the number. The value of a digit 7 in 3,750 is 700 because it is in the hundreds place. To find the value of the digit 5, first decide the place-value position of the 5. The 5 is in the tens place. 5 x 10 = 50, so the 5 has a value of 50. To increase a number by 5,000, increase the digit in the thousands place by 5. 3,750 increased by 5,000 is 8,750. Notice that the only change was the increase by 5 in the thousands place.
