Gillian bought a blazer for $26. She also bought a bracelet which cost 3 times as much as the blazer.
- How much less did the blazer cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blazer = 1 u = $26
Price of bracelet = 3 u
Price of the bracelet
= 3 x 26
= $78
Amount that blazer costs less than the bracelet
= 78 - 26
= $52
(b)
Total amount that Gillian spent
= 26 + 78
= $104
Answer(s): (a) $52; (b) $104
