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