Question

What is the relationship between the values of the budgets in the number 9,999,999

Answer 1

Because all the digits are the same, each digit is worth 10x the one to its right and 1/10 of the one to its left.

This is because we count in base 10. This is also why we can expand this number to become

9*10^6+ 9*10^5+ 9*10^4+ 9*10^3+ 9*10^2+ 9*10^1 +9*10^0.

Hope this helps!
