Lucy bought a windbreaker for $29. She also bought a necklace which cost 3 times as much as the windbreaker.
- How much less did the windbreaker cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the windbreaker = 1 u = $29
Price of necklace = 3 u
Price of the necklace
= 3 x 29
= $87
Amount that windbreaker costs less than the necklace
= 87 - 29
= $58
(b)
Total amount that Lucy spent
= 29 + 87
= $116
Answer(s): (a) $58; (b) $116
