Usha bought a windbreaker for $22. She also bought a bracelet which cost 3 times as much as the windbreaker.
- How much less did the windbreaker cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the windbreaker = 1 u = $22
Price of bracelet = 3 u
Price of the bracelet
= 3 x 22
= $66
Amount that windbreaker costs less than the bracelet
= 66 - 22
= $44
(b)
Total amount that Usha spent
= 22 + 66
= $88
Answer(s): (a) $44; (b) $88
