...because I suck at English.

So which is correct:
What $105 get you in China.
What $105 gets you in China.

I realize that my brain and customs causes us to say "gets," but would you count "$105" as a single noun (some dollar amount, i.e. a price) or as a plural noun (many dollars more than $1 available) or is it specifically context related?

i read it like this: "What one hundred and five dollars gets you in china"
otherwise i would say "what one hundred and five dollars WILL get you in china"
