I have made up the similar sentences below.

(1a) I have to pay $100 of tuition for my courses.
(2a) I have to pay $100 of sales tax on my computer.
(3a) I have to pay $1000 of monthly rent.
(4a) I have to pay $100 of customs duty online purchase.
(5a) I earned $1000 of employment income. I made much more than than from my stocks.

(1b) I have to pay tuition of $100 for my courses.
(2b) I have to pay sales tax $100 on my computer.
(3b) I have to pay monthly rent of $1000.
(4b) I have to pay customs duty of $100 online purchase.
(5b) I earned employment income $1000. I made much more than than from my stocks.

These sentences are very similar. I have difficulty trying to figure out the correct position to put the dollar amount. Please help me. Thank you very much.
