Problem

In 1998, the population of Canada was $30.3$ million. Which number is the same as $30.3$ million.

$\text{ (A) }\ 30~300~000 \qquad\text{ (B) }\ 303~000~000 \qquad\text{ (C) }\ 30~000 \qquad\text{ (D) }\ 303~000 \qquad\text{ (E) }\ 30~300~000~000$

We can simply convert $30.3$ million into a number. $30.3$ million is the same as $30.3 \times 10^{6}$ , or $\boxed {\textbf {(A) } 30~300~000}$ .
