Answer:
Joe scored higher by 1600
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Simon = 4 * 10^2[/tex]
[tex]Joe = 2 * 10^3[/tex]
Solving (a): Which is higher?
First, we need to convert both numbers to whole numbers
[tex]Simon = 4 * 100[/tex]
[tex]Simon = 400[/tex]
[tex]Joe = 2 * 10^3[/tex]
[tex]Joe = 2 * 1000[/tex]
[tex]Joe = 2000[/tex]
2000 is greater than 400;
Hence, Joe score higher
Solving (b): By how much?
We simply calculate the difference
[tex]Difference = Joe - Simon[/tex]
[tex]Difference = 2000 - 400[/tex]
[tex]Difference = 1600[/tex]
