Question

Grace earned 125 dollars in a part time job. She want to know how many hundred, ten, and one dollar bills are there. Help her find the expanded form of 125.

• A. 1 + 2 + 5
• B. 100 + 20 + 5
• C. 100 + 2 + 5
• D. 125 + 125

Answer 1

The correct option is B 100 + 20 + 5

Grace has 125 dollars.

To find the expanded form, we have to find the place values.

Place value = Face value $\times$ Place


The number in expanded form = 1 $\times$ 100 + 2 $\times$ 10 + 5

= 100 + 20 + 5

Hence, she has 1 hundred dollar, 2 ten dollar, and 5 one dollar bills.
