Hi my lil bunny!

80,023 written in scientific notation is
8,0023 x
10^4.

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 80,023

New Number: 8.0023

Step 2

New Number: 8 . 0 0 2 3

Decimal Count: 1 2 3 4

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

There are 4 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10^b

a = 8.0023

b = 4

Now the whole thing:

8.0023 x 104

Step 4

Check your work:

10^4 = 10,000 x 8.0023 = 80,023

Answer
B. 8.0023 10(tiny 4)

Explain
In scientific notation, the goal is to get any select number between the numbers 1 and 10. To find the answer quickly, i find where the decimal is (in this case it would be at the end of the number because there are no decimal numbers) and count how many numbers it takes to get between 1 and 10 (diagram below to show what i mean)
