After buying shirts worth $27 from a store, Dennis received 2 $10 bills and $3 in loose coins for his change. How much money did Dennis have initially? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Dennis received $10 x 2 = $20. So, he received a total of $20 + $3 = $23 change. Therefore, Dennis initially had $27 + $23 = $50. So, the answer is 50.
