Alice received a tax refund from the IRS.  She decided to go cash the check at her local bank.  For some reason, the bank teller was confused and switched the dollars and cents; that is, what was written as cents on the check he gave to her in dollars, and what was written in dollars on the check he gave to her in cents. 

It was not until after she bought a piece of candy for five cents that she noticed the bank teller’s error.  At that point she actually had twice the amount of money that the IRS had sent her. 

How much was the check from the IRS made out for?  Explain why or why not you believe there is more than one possible answer.
