Nicole bought a shirt for $18. She also bought a bracelet which cost 5 times as much as the shirt.
- How much less did the shirt cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the shirt = 1 u = $18
Price of bracelet = 5 u
Price of the bracelet
= 5 x 18
= $90
Amount that shirt costs less than the bracelet
= 90 - 18
= $72
(b)
Total amount that Nicole spent
= 18 + 90
= $108
Answer(s): (a) $72; (b) $108
