[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In our number system (base 10), each digit in a number represents a multiple of a power of 10. For example, in the number 825.29, the "8" represents 8 hundreds (8 x 100), the "2" represents 2 tens (2 x 10), the "5" represents 5 ones (5 x 1), the "2" after the decimal point represents 2 tenths (2 x 0.1), and the "9" after the decimal point represents 9 hundredths (9 x 0.01). By adding up all these multiples of powers of 10, we get the original number. Therefore, the expanded form with base 10 notation is equal to the number itself in our number system.
