This is a question I got off of the GRE powerprep program off of ETS's website. It looks ridiculously simple, but keep in mind you can't use a calculator and the test is 28 questions, 45 minutes, which means you must use shortcuts whenever possible. It's a quantitative comparison problem, just name which of these two quantities is greater:
100210 X 90021 OR 100021 X 90210
Again, the answer is obvious, but short of multiplying the numbers out by hand, which would take way too long for this timed test, I'm not seeing the shortcut to getting the answer. The program does not give explanations for the answers either. Could anyone here tell me the quick way to compare them?
thanks
