• B. None of the above
• C. Both Amy and Stacy have an equal amount of money.
• D. Stacy has more money than Amy.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Stacy has more money than Amy.

Amy has six $\$100$ bills and five $\$10$ bills.
Six $\$100$ bills $=6$ times $100=\$600$
Five $\$10$ bills $=5$ times $10=\$50$
So, value of six $\$100$ bills and five $\$10$ bills
$=(600+50)=\$650$

Stacy has seven $\$100$ bills and four $\$10$ bills.
Seven $\$100$ bills $=7$ times $100=\$700$
Four $\$10$ bills $=4$ times $10=\$40$
So, value of seven $\$100$ bills and four $\$10$ bills $=(700+40)=\$740$

So, Stacy has more money than Amy.
