Question

A certain corporation listed their sales in 100 as 1700. What was their actual volume in thousands?

Answer 1

as I read this one, they listed their sales as 1700, BUT the scale for those numbers are that each 1 is a "100", namely, they're on a 1:100 scale, so the 1700 is really 1700 * 100, or 170000.

170,000 is 170 * 1000, or 170 thousands.
