ten one-dollars: what do you think?

Hi,

  1. Could you break this into nine tens and ten one-dollar bills?
  2. Could you break this into nine tens and ten one dollars?

I know 1) is right, but I’m not sure so is 2). What do you think?

Thanks,
sweetpumpkin

Oh, I think I put my question on the wrong forum. I’m sorry, but I cannot delete it!

Hi Pumpkin,

We typically just say ‘ones’, just like you stated “nine tens”.

I’d ask “Could you break this into nine tens and ten ones?”

Thanks, skrej. By the way, the cat in your picture alwasy makes me smile. :slight_smile:
