If you have a strap of 50s, how much is it worth?

• A. $900.00
• B. $1000.00
• C. $1100.00
• D. $1200.00

Answer: (B)

In banking, a strap is a standardized bundle worth a fixed total amount, typically $1,000, to make counting and handling easy. For a strap of 50s, each bill is $50, so you need 1,000 ÷ 50 = 20 notes. Therefore, a strap of $50 bills is worth $1,000. The same idea applies to other denominations: a strap of $100s would also be $1,000 (10 notes), a strap of $20s would be $1,000 (50 notes), and so on. The key idea is the strap’s total value is fixed, even though the number of notes varies by denomination.
