           Summary: Bad generation of dollar amounts.
           Product: Problem libraries
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
               URL: Precalc/Chap1Sec4/Q40.pg_with_problemSeed=1596
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Library
        AssignedTo: jj at asu.edu
        ReportedBy: sdenton4 at gmail.com
        Web browser Chrome
           version:


When generating a dollar amount, the problem tries to insert a comma at between
the hundreds and thousands position, for example, $15,072.  However, if the
hundreds position contains a 0, we instead get $15,72.  (The code gets the 1's
through 100's parts by doing something like int(x/1000); obviously this drops
any initial zeroes.)

A good fix might be to turn the number 15072 into a string and insert a comma
in the appropriate places.
