Question

Woody and Coco buy dresses for $\$500$ each. Woody pays in 100-dollar bills, while Coco pays in 10-dollar bills. Who ends up giving more bills?

• A. Coco
• B. Insufficient information
• C. Woody
• D. Both give equal number of bills

Answer 1

The correct option is A Coco

Say:
Amount of money Woody spends on buying dresses $=\$500$
Amount of money Coco spends on buying dresses $=\$500$
Woody pays in 100-dollar bills, while Coco pays in 10-dollar bills.
Let’s find out who gives more bills.
Steps:
$100+100+100+100+100=500$ So, to pay $\$500,$ Woody pays $5100-$dollar bills.
We know that $1$ hundred $=10$ tens, i.e., $10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=100.$
So, $5$ hundreds $=50$ tens
Coco pays $5010-$dollar bills.
Thus, Coco ends up giving more bills.
Hence, option A is correct.
