Sue has four $20 bills in her wallet. She needs $200 in cash to buy a new MP3 player. How many more $20 bills does Sue need to buy the MP3 player? Sue needs more $20 bills.
Is this multiple choice? Or did you just answer it yourself?
IT'S 10 RIGHT
When they say bills are they referring yo dollar bills? or twenty?
IT TEN BECAUSE 10 *20 =200 CORRECT
Not exactly....Give me a sec
IT'S IS 10
So if you have 4 20 dollar bills. So 20+20+20+20 which is 80. So she has 80 dollars right now but she needs 200
We can subtract 80 from 200 to get 120. The last step is to divide 120 by 20 since it needs to be 20 bills and you get 6
Sue need 6 more twenty bills to buy the mp3 player
YES SO 20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20=200
Yes that how much twenty's she needs. But is says HOW MANY MORE DOES SHE NEED.
So what you did was right.. 10 twentys but she already has four. So 10-4=6
OH YOUR RIGHT
Do you understand?
