Final answer:
There are 100999 whole numbers with no more than five digits.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking how many whole numbers have no more than five digits. To determine this, we need to consider the range of whole numbers that have five or fewer digits.
For numbers with one digit, there are 9 options (0-9). For numbers with two digits, there are 90 options (10-99). For numbers with three digits, there are 900 options (100-999). For numbers with four digits, there are 9000 options (1000-9999). And for numbers with five digits, there are 90000 options (10000-99999).
Therefore, the total number of whole numbers with no more than five digits is 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000 + 90000 = 100999.
