Sam is going to multiply 3 digit whole number times a two digit whole number. He will make the greatest product he can make and the least product he can make. What is the difference between products?

Answer 1

Answer: The difference is 97901

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices are

a) 80,011.

b)87,901.

c) 97901.

d) 99901

Sam wants to multiply a

3 digit number with a 2 digit number.

The largest 3 digit number is 999

the smallest one is 100

the largest 2 digit number is 99

the smallest is 10.

Then the largest number he can get is:

L = 999*99 = 98901

The smallest is:

S = 100*10 = 1000

the difference is:

L - S = 98901 - 1000 = 97901

The correct option is c.
