450 The beads sit on the tens row, so each one is worth ten.
5C Five beads on the top row, the hundreds row, are worth 500.
6True Without the zero, 205 would look like 25.
7704 Seven hundreds, an empty tens row and four ones.
81-B, 2-C, 3-A The same three beads are worth ten times more on each row up.
93, 1, 2 Teal is one, yellow is ten and purple is a hundred.
10False They are the same number of tickets, but not the same worth: 300 and 3.
11503 The tens row is empty, a zero. It is five hundreds and three ones: 503.
