Fanny bought a dress for $22. She also bought a necklace which cost 6 times as much as the dress.
- How much less did the dress cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the dress = 1 u = $22
Price of necklace = 6 u
Price of the necklace
= 6 x 22
= $132
Amount that dress costs less than the necklace
= 132 - 22
= $110
(b)
Total amount that Fanny spent
= 22 + 132
= $154
Answer(s): (a) $110; (b) $154
