• A. $\$491$
• B. $\$497$
• C. $\$407$
• D. $\$490$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$497$

Let's calculate the total money paid.

$\bullet$ Number of $\$100$ bills $=4$
$\bullet$ The value of four $\$100$ bills $=4\times \$100=\$400$

$\bullet$ Number of $\$10$ bills $=9$
$\bullet$ The value of nine $\$10$ bills $=9\times \$10=\$90$

$\bullet$ Number of $\$1$ bills $=7$
$\bullet$ The value of seven $\$1$ bills $=7\times \$1=\$7$

$\bullet$ Total money $=\$400+\$90+\$7$


$\bullet$ The Bearisters pay $\$497$ in total.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
