Colon or semicolon?

There are two statements: One with $5 and the other $10.

Should I use a colon or semicolon after statements? Also, is with the correct preposition here?

Use a colon. Or a comma would be fine. You don't need a capital 'O'.

You should not use a capital O, because that is not a new sentence.

It seems a bit vague. Are you talking about some kind of financial statement, such as a bank statement? If possible, I would try to say something more specific, such as "one showing $5 and the other $10", depending on exactly what you mean.

In that case "with" is not actually incorrect, but "showing" seems a more precise word.
