Is this correct expression?
I'd like to ask about the sentence below,
- That company sells ten billion dollars of handbags a year.

I think I have to put more word in this sentence, but I'm not sure,
Is it a correct and completed sentence or do I have to put more?
If I put 'worth' after dollars, how about this?

- That company sells ten billion dollars worth of handbags a year.

I need your help.

Answer

The "worth" if not required, but it is perfectly fine to add.  Both versions are OK, and they mean the same thing.

Answer

That company sells handbags worth ten billion dollars in a year.
