100 dollars

I think that's right. Just an addition - when you say "100 dollars" you mean
"the sum of 100 dollars".
Сравните с русским "100 рублей было достаточно" - se say БЫЛО, not БЫЛИ. Or
"15 лет прошло", not "15 лет ПРОШЛИ"

> "100 dollars is enough" is correct because time, distanse, and amount of
> money is grammatically regared as one item and therefore takes the verb in
> 3rd person sg.
> e.g. 15 years is enough to change.
> Two miles is a long way to walk.

"100 dollars is enough" is correct because time, distanse, and amount of
money is grammatically regared as one item and therefore takes the verb in
3rd person sg.
e.g. 15 years is enough to change.
Two miles is a long way to walk.
