Answer :

Sure, let's address the questions step by step.

### Question 1: Write in words 7303004902

First, let's break down the number:
7,303,004,902

To write this in words:
A. Seven billions, three hundred millions, four thousands, nine hundred and two
B. Seventy-three thousands, three hundreds and four and nine hundreds and two
C. Seventy-three millions, three hundred and four thousand and nine hundred and two
D. Seven billions, thirty-three million, four thousand nine hundred and two

Correct Answer: D. Seven billions, thirty-three million, four thousand nine hundred and two

### Question 2: A man bought an item for N5000.00 and sold it at a loss of 25%. How much did he sell it?

To determine how much the man sold the item for, follow these steps:

1. Find the loss amount:
The item is sold at a loss of 25%.
Calculate 25% of N5000.00.

2. Calculate 25% of N5000.00:
[tex]\[ \frac{25}{100} \times 5000 = 0.25 \times 5000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Loss amount} = N1250.00 \][/tex]

3. Determine the selling price:
Subtract the loss amount from the initial cost.
[tex]\[ 5000 - 1250 = 3750 \][/tex]

Thus, the item was sold for N3750.00.

Correct Answer: C. N3750.00

### Question 3: Find the inequalities illustrated in the number line shown below.

Since no number line is provided within this text, this question cannot be answered without additional context or illustration of the number line.

However, standard practice for questions involving number lines would typically require visual representation or further description of the inequalities to be solved.

If you provide a description or image of the number line, I can assist you further with this part.
