Cindy bought a blazer for $19. She also bought a bracelet which cost 4 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 = $19
Price of bracelet = 4 u
Price of the bracelet
= 4 x 19
= $76
Amount that blazer costs less than the bracelet
= 76 - 19
= $57
(b)
Total amount that Cindy spent
= 19 + 76
= $95
Answer(s): (a) $57; (b) $95
