Shannon bought a blazer for $25. She also bought a bracelet which cost 6 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 = $25
Price of bracelet = 6 u
Price of the bracelet
= 6 x 25
= $150
Amount that blazer costs less than the bracelet
= 150 - 25
= $125
(b)
Total amount that Shannon spent
= 25 + 150
= $175
Answer(s): (a) $125; (b) $175
