Question

---- MoM, the assistant gave me an _____ in the change by mistake.
---- MoM, the assistant gave me an _____ in the change by mistake.
------Oh? I think you should go back and return it to her.

A. extra 10 dollars      B. extra 10-dollar note
C. another 10-dollar note   D. one more ten yuan note

I choose B. Am I right? By th way,  " 10-dollar note" is right? What about  " 10 dallars' note"?  Thank you!

Answer

Grammatically, you could choose either A or B. I lean toward B because it makes it clear that it was just one extra bill, whereas A could be understood as receiving ten one-dollar bills, however in American English we rarely say "10-dollar note." You're far more likely to hear "10-dollar bill." You definitely wouldn't say "10-dollars note."

Answer

I'd say:  
the assistant gave me 10 dollars more in the change by mistake
or
the assistant wrongly gave me 10 dollars more in the change

I don't think that B is the right answer because it means that the assistant gave you several 10-dollar notes. And one of them is excess.

Answer

I believe when we are talking about dollars we tend to say "ten-dollar bill" as that's how America says it, whereas for example when we talk about British pounds we'll talk about a ten pound note.
