Gwen bought a blazer for $28. She also bought a ring which cost 3 times as much as the blazer.
- How much less did the blazer cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blazer = 1 u = $28
Price of ring = 3 u
Price of the ring
= 3 x 28
= $84
Amount that blazer costs less than the ring
= 84 - 28
= $56
(b)
Total amount that Gwen spent
= 28 + 84
= $112
Answer(s): (a) $56; (b) $112
