∙ 10y agoThe most important benefit of place value in everyday life can be illustrated by a
simple though typical example:
When you go to the store to buy Chewing Gum, and you see exactly the flavor
you're looking for and the sign on it says " 79 ¢ ", other people might think at first
that they can buy it for sixteen cents ( 7 plus 9 ). But your knowledge of place value
and your ability to apply that knowledge save you from embarrassment, and as you
stride confidently toward the checkout register, you have seventy-nine cents plus tax
ready, in your hand, with which to execute the purchase.
