What is the total value of all five-dollar bills across the four wallets?

• A. $45
• B. $40
• C. $50
• D. $55

Answer: (A)

The total value comes from counting how many five-dollar bills are present in all wallets and then multiplying by the value of each bill. Add up the five-dollar bills across the four wallets to get the total number of bills, then multiply that number by 5. If there are nine five-dollar bills in total, the value is 9 × 5 = 45 dollars. The answer choices reflect totals for 8, 9, 10, or 11 five-dollar bills, so the scenario that gives nine bills results in 45 dollars.
