@CaylaDeeAKAYuriKim: They use both.
When you are counting something, such as the number of animals, bottles, people, times, cups, papers, etc, you use the Korean ones.
When you are not counting, just saying a number, such as the room or floor number, a phone number, money and so, you use the sino-korean numbers.
Of course, this is very general. There are some exceptions. Like, you say the hour with korean numbers and the minutes and seconds with the sino-korean ones.
Just by practicing you will end up using them right
