Cathy bought a coat for $19. 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 = $19
Price of bracelet = 6 u
Price of the bracelet
= 6 x 19
= $114
Amount that coat costs less than the bracelet
= 114 - 19
= $95
(b)
Total amount that Cathy spent
= 19 + 114
= $133
Answer(s): (a) $95; (b) $133
