Ivory bought a vest for $24. She also bought a ring which cost 6 times as much as the vest.
- How much less did the vest cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the vest = 1 u = $24
Price of ring = 6 u
Price of the ring
= 6 x 24
= $144
Amount that vest costs less than the ring
= 144 - 24
= $120
(b)
Total amount that Ivory spent
= 24 + 144
= $168
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $168
