Nicole bought a sweater for $30. She also bought a necklace which cost 3 times as much as the sweater.
- How much less did the sweater cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the sweater = 1 u = $30
Price of necklace = 3 u
Price of the necklace
= 3 x 30
= $90
Amount that sweater costs less than the necklace
= 90 - 30
= $60
(b)
Total amount that Nicole spent
= 30 + 90
= $120
Answer(s): (a) $60; (b) $120
