Jean bought a coat for $26. She also bought a ring which cost 5 times as much as the coat.
- How much less did the coat cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the coat = 1 u = $26
Price of ring = 5 u
Price of the ring
= 5 x 26
= $130
Amount that coat costs less than the ring
= 130 - 26
= $104
(b)
Total amount that Jean spent
= 26 + 130
= $156
Answer(s): (a) $104; (b) $156
