A company makes baseball cards in packs of 10, boxes of 100, and cases of 1,000. A store orders a total of 15,470 cards. How can the company fill the order in the exact amount?

Answer: The company can fill the order in exact numbers as:

15 cases, 4 boxes, 7 packs

15 cases contain $15 \times 1000=15000$ cards

4 boxes contain $4 \times 100 =400$ cards

7 packs contain $7 \times 10 = 70$ cards

Therefore, the total cards are:

$15000 + 400 + 70 = 15,470$
