Creative Chitti is a different kind of calculator. It has the following buttons: +1, +10, +100, +1000, +10000 and +100000. It always has multiple ways of doing things. Two of the many different ways to get 5072 are shown below: (a) (50×10050 \times 100) + (7×107 \times 10) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072 (b) (3×10003 \times 1000) + (20×10020 \times 100) + (72×172 \times 1) = 5072 Find a different way to get 5072 and write an expression for the same.

Correct Answer

Way 1: (5×10005 \times 1000) + (7×107 \times 10) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072

Way 2: (50×10050 \times 100) + (70×170 \times 1) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072

Way 3: (4×10004 \times 1000) + (10×10010 \times 100) + (70×170 \times 1) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072

Explanation

The chapter demonstrates that Creative Chitti can use different combinations of button presses to reach the same number. Multiple expressions are possible using different combinations of the available buttons.

Solution Steps

  1. One different way: (5×10005 \times 1000) + (7×107 \times 10) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072

  2. Another way: (50×10050 \times 100) + (70×170 \times 1) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072

  3. Yet another way: (4×10004 \times 1000) + (10×10010 \times 100) + (70×170 \times 1) + (2×12 \times 1) = 5072
