Answer

$37,400$

Work Step by Step

To convert a number in scientific notation to a number in standard notation, we must move the decimal point to the left or right by the exponent of $10$ in the scientific notation. If the exponent is positive, we move the decimal right. If the exponent is negative, we move the decimal left. We are trying to convert $3.74\times10^{4}$ to standard notation. Since the exponent of $10$ is $+4$, we move the decimal point $4$ places to the right, giving us $37,400$.
