[Answer]

A:それは いくらですか。

B:一つ 200円です。三つ(4 で)500円です。


A: How much is that?

B: One is 200 yen. Three cost 500 yen in total.




The key grammar here is "Total Amount".

When you say the total price for a number of items, use「」.


Pattern:

[Number of items] + + [Price]

→ 三つ 500円です。

= “Three for 500 yen.”

= “The total for three is 500 yen.”


So, is the best choice.



✖ Other Choices:

= "and" / "with"

It connects nouns.

It does not show total price.


= subject marker

三つが500円 sounds unnatural for talking about prices.


= “also” / “as many as”

It does not fit the basic price pattern here.



I hope this explanation helps! 😊
