Updating numbers on a new Mac

My brand new MAC won't let me update numbers, pages, GarageBand, etc. It says the program was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I called Apple Support. I had to put the programs in the trash as you suggested, then I had to sign out of Apple ID, restart the computer, sign back in to Apple ID, go back to the App Store and reload the programs. The tech rep thought maybe I hadn't got signed in to my Mac early enough in the setup process that the programs defaulted back to initial setup. Not sure of the cause but it's working great now! Thanks!!
