My aunt owns many cars. If the number of cars my aunt owns is 11 less than the thousands digit of 1785417854, how many cars does she own?

Why the answer is not 16854? Thanks!

Hi,

I think the answer is 6. If the answer was 16,854, then maybe the question would say that the number of cars is 1000 less than 17854. For this question, since it is just 1 less than 7(thousands digit), then it should probably be 6.

Hope this was useful!
