How many significant figures does TOTAL have?
SOLUTION
Identify the non-zero digits and any zeros between them. These are all significant.
PROPER_LEADING\color{blue}{INBETWEEN}TRAILING
Leading zeros are not significant.
\color{orange}{PROPER_LEADING}\color{blue}{INBETWEEN}TRAILING
Since there is a decimal, trailing zeros are significant.
\color{orange}{PROPER_LEADING}\color{blue}{INBETWEENTRAILING}
Since there is no decimal, trailing zeros are not significant.
\color{orange}{PROPER_LEADING}\color{blue}{INBETWEEN}\color{orange}{TRAILING}
Counting all the significant digits gives us SOLUTION.
