答案: A
Answer: A ($456)
- Money from the tickets: 214 × $3 = $642.
- Take away the cost of the prizes: $642 − $186 = $456.
Why the other options are wrong
- B ($544): In 642 − 186, this takes the smaller digit from the larger one in each column instead of regrouping.
- C ($556): This regroups in the ones and tens but forgets that the hundreds digit drops from 6 to 5.
- D ($642): This is the money from the tickets before the prizes are paid for.
- E ($828): This adds the cost of the prizes instead of taking it away.
