Answer:

$8.65×10^3

Explanation:

The amount the West raised is the difference between the total and the sum of the other amounts raised. It is convenient to use a multiplier of 10^4 for each of the numbers, so the number for South can be rewritten as 0.675×10^4.

West = 5.38×10^4 -1.46×10^4 -2.38×10^4 -0.675×10^4

= (5.38 -1.46 -2.38 -0.675)×10^4

= 0.865×10^4 = 8.65×10^3

West raised $8.65×10^3.

Your calculator can figure this for you. You can set the final display to scientific notation format, if you need to.
