Numbering System
• Decimal System (base 10)
• 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
• Can write any number using these
10 digits
• Decimal point (.) separates whole
numbers from decimal numbers

diagram of whole number groups.
• Each place is worth 10 times the place to its

• Because they deal with such large figures,
government statistics and financial reports for
large organizations use rounded numbers.
• Rounded numbers are good for quick estimates
and are easier to remember than exact numbers.
• Example: 2,403,895,682 or 2.4 billion
• The more rounded a number is, the more
approximate it is (less exact).
• Numbers can be rounded to any identified digit
place value including the first (left most).
Rounding Numbers
1-9
Rounding Whole Numbers, Example 1 (rounded up)
• Identify the place value of the digit to where you want to round. (For example,
let’s round to the nearest hundred.)
9,362
• Look at the number to the right of that digit—(the 6)
If the number to the right is 5 or higher, add 1 to the identified digit
(in our case the hundreds place, the 3).
If the number to the right is less than 5, do not change the identified
digit. (In our case, it was higher than 5.)
9,462
Change all the numbers to the right of the rounded, identified digit to
zeros.
9,400
1-10
Rounding Whole Numbers, Example 2 (rounded down)
• Identify the place value of the digit you want to round to. (For example, let’s round to the nearest 10.)
9,342
• Look at the number to the right of that digit (the 2).
• If the number you are looking at is 5 or higher, add 1 to the identified digit. (Ours is 2, and not 5 or higher; therefore, we will not add 1 to the identified digit.)
• If the number to the right is less than 5, do not change the identified digit. (In our case, it is less; therefore, we won’tadd 1.)
9,342
• Change all the numbers to the right of the identified digit to zeros.
9,340
1-11
Rounding all the Way, Example 1
• In rounding all the way, you round to the first digit of the
number (leftmost).
• Rounding a digit to a specific place value depends on
the degree of accuracy you need in your estimate.
• Example: 24,800
(4 is less than 5; so we do not increase the first digit
by 1)
So, this number, when rounded all the way is:
20,000
1-12
Rounding all the Way, Example 2
• Again, in rounding all the way, you round to the first
digit of the number (leftmost).
• Example: 26,100
(6 is 5 or more, so we increase the first digit by 1)
So, this number, when rounded all the way is:
30,000
• As you can see, rounding all the way is not very accurate.
1-13
• We will convert 2.4 billion to a regular, whole number in the
following steps.
• Drop the decimal point and replace it with a comma.

How to Dissect and Solve a Word Problem
Tootsie Roll Industries sales reached one hundred ninety-four million dollars and a record profit of twenty-two million, five hundred fifty-six thousand dollars. Round the sales and profit figures all the way.
Sales: One
hundred ninety-
four million
dollars.
Profit: Twenty-
two million, five
hundred fifty-
six thousand
dollars.
Sales and
profit rounded
all the way.
Express each
verbal form in
numeric form.
Identify the
leftmost digit in
each number.
Round it.
Rounding all
the way means
only the
leftmost digit
will remain. All
other digits
become zeros.
Sales: One hundred ninety-four million dollars. ----------->$194,000,000 -----------> $200,000,000
Profit: Twenty-two million, five hundred fifty-six thousand dollars -> $22,556,000 --> $20,000,000

Facts
•Sales are one hundred ninety-four million dollars.
•Profit is five hundred twenty thousand dollars.
Solving for
•Sales and profit rounded all the way
Steps to take
•Express each verbal form in numeric form; then identify leftmost
digit in each number.
Sales => $194,000,000 Profit => $520,000
•Round the first (leftmost) digit, and change the rest of the digits to 0.
For sales, 9 is 5 or higher, so we add 1 to the leftmost digit.
For profit, 2 is less than 5, so we don’t add 1 to the leftmost digit.
Sales => 200,000,000 Profit =>500,000
Key Points
Rounding all the way means only the leftmost digit will remain. All other
digits become zeros.
1-16
Adding Whole Numbers
1. Align the numbers according to their place values
2. Add the units column. Write the sum below the column. If the sum is more than 9, write the units digit and carry the tens digit.
3. Moving to the left, repeat Step 2 until all place values are added.
Small numbers in red are amounts carried.

Subtracting Whole Numbers
1. Align the minuend and subtrahend by place values
2. Begin the subtraction with the units digits. Write the difference below the column.
If the units digit in the minuend is smaller than the digit in the subtrahend, borrow 1 from the tens digit in the minuend.
3. Moving to the left, repeat Step 2 until all place values in the subtrahend are subtracted
Example

Hershey Kisses Problem
• Facts
• Produced 25 million
• Shipped 4 million to Japan
• Shipped 3 million to France
• Shipped 6 million to locations in the US
• Solving for
• Total Kisses left in inventory (none before production)
• Inventory balance rounded all the way
• Steps
• Total Kisses produced
• Total Kisses shipped
• Total Kisses left in inventory
• Key Points
• Minuend-Subtrahend = Difference
• Rounding all the way is rounding to left most digit

• Facts
• Projected (estimated) 2003 sales: $900,000
• Sales to Major Clients = 510,000
• Sales to Other Clients = 369,100
• Solving for
• The amount that sales were over or under estimated
• Steps
• Keep in mind the total projected sales
• Add up the actual client sales figures
• Subtract total actual sales
• Difference will be the amount over/under estimated
• Key Points
• Projected sales is minuend
• Actual sales is the subtrahend
• Amount over/under estimated will be the difference

Multiplication
• Multiplication is a shortcut to addition.
• For instance, if you multiply a number by 3, you are adding the number 3 times.
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 10
x3
30
100
100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 400 x4

Usually you put the smaller number on the bottom.

Multiplication of Whole Numbers
1. Align the multiplicand and multiplier at the right.
2. Multiply the right digit of the multiplier by the right digit of the multiplicand. Keep multiplying as you move left through the multiplicand, carrying where necessary.
3. Your partial product right digit or first digit is placed directly below the digit in the multiplier that you used to multiply.
4. Continue steps 2 and 3 until multiplication process is complete. Add the partial products to get the final product.
Example
418 (Multiplicand)
x52 (Multiplier)
836 (Partial Product)
20 90 (Partial Product)

Multiplication Shortcut with
Numbers ending in Zero
1. When zeros are at the end of
the multiplicand or the
multiplier, or both, disregard
the zeros and multiply.
2. Count the number of zeros in
the multiplicand and
multiplier, (4).
3. Then attach the number of
zeros counted in Step 2 to
your answer.

Example
65000 (3 zeros)

Multiplying a Whole Number
by (a Power of) 10
1. Count the number of zeros in the power of 10.
2. Attach that number of zeros to the right side of the other whole number to obtain the answer.
3. Insert commas as needed
99 x 10 = 990 = 990 <----Add 1 Zero
99 x 100 = 9,900 = 9,900 <----Add 2 Zeros
99 x 1,000 = 99,000 = 99,000 <----Add 3 Zeros

number is contained in another number.
• How many 2s are contained in 10?

2. Drop the same number of zeros in the dividend
as in the divisor, counting from right to left.

Dunkin’ Donuts Case
Dunkin’ Donuts has 4 customers. It has total combined sales of
$3,500 per week. All four customers buy the same amount each
week. What is the total annual sales to each of these companies?
Facts
Sales per week are $3,500. There are only 4 customers (companies)
They all buy the same amount each week.
Solving For
Total annual sales to all four companies
Yearly sales per company
Steps to Take
Sales per week times weeks in a year (52). Total annual sales
divided by total companies will give the yearly sales per company.
