Answers:
7900
The answer is 7,900.

7,900 x 25 = 197,500

Your calculator probably has a setting to show answers in scientific formula. This is to make it easier to read big numbers. Look for a key or dial that can change this option so your answers show up in plain numbers.
£7,900.00
£7900.00
£7,900

I dont know what your trying to find
it's 7,900 your calculator is set wrong.
7900
7900..
7,900
7900.00
7900
£7,900
7900

Apparently you put the decimal point in the wrong place.
7900
The answer is 7,900, I think you have to move your decimal over a couple of places to get it.
The answer is £7,900
I know what you did wrong. You shouldn't have entered 197.500 into the calculator, which gave you 7.9. You should have entered 197500, which would give you the correct answer, 7900.
you are sweet :)
Is there a 3 after the 7.9? If there is your calculator is probably set to scientific notation.
£ 7900 also done on a really cheap calculator to check the answer times by 25 = £197500
its $7,900 . im positive!
You are dropping 3 zeros somewhere. Eg if you abbreviate £197,500 to £197.5K you would get that answer. is your caclulator like an adding machine and set to put everything to three decimal places unless you tell it otherwise?

Anyway, you know the answer now.
REN - tell you what if I give you 25 bags each containing $7900 will you give me £197,500 please ?
the answer is 7,900. When you entered it on the calculator you put in 197.500 divided by 25, you should have entered 197500 divided by 25
In some parts of the world they use a comma to separate every 3 units. ie 1,000 In others they use a full stop, but we use that as a decimal point. I found this most confusing when I put English numbers into a Spanish excel file. maybe your calculator is setup for the non British way. Best way to get success is to ignor all separators and just type the number.
Your calculator is correct - you are asking it - which figure fits into 197500 25 times - it is telling you 7.9 = £7,900. Good Luck
