pragmatics - What does 円分 mean after a number?


Is 分 a counter after 円 following a number, e.g. 500円分? enter image description here



Answer



If I'm understanding naruto's link correctly, the 「500円」 here means "worth of 500 yen". From the linked answer:



1日の食料: a day's worth of food




To put it in context:
