Risa bought a skirt for $20. She also bought a bracelet which cost 4 times as much as the skirt.
- How much less did the skirt cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the skirt = 1 u = $20
Price of bracelet = 4 u
Price of the bracelet
= 4 x 20
= $80
Amount that skirt costs less than the bracelet
= 80 - 20
= $60
(b)
Total amount that Risa spent
= 20 + 80
= $100
Answer(s): (a) $60; (b) $100
