Pay to the order of….A Place Value problem

You’ve just been given the opportunity to make a donation to your favorite charity. You’ve been given a blank check! The only catch is that the donation amount must include the digits 5, 2, 8, 1,3,and 7, and ONLY those digits.

How will you place those digits on your blank check?

Tell the amount you will make the check out for, why you placed the digits where you did, and what charity will receive this generous donation.
