Wendy bought a blazer for $20. She also bought a necklace which cost 6 times as much as the blazer.
- How much less did the blazer cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blazer = 1 u = $20
Price of necklace = 6 u
Price of the necklace
= 6 x 20
= $120
Amount that blazer costs less than the necklace
= 120 - 20
= $100
(b)
Total amount that Wendy spent
= 20 + 120
= $140
Answer(s): (a) $100; (b) $140
