Gwen bought a dress for $19. She also bought a ring which cost 5 times as much as the dress.
- How much less did the dress cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the dress = 1 u = $19
Price of ring = 5 u
Price of the ring
= 5 x 19
= $95
Amount that dress costs less than the ring
= 95 - 19
= $76
(b)
Total amount that Gwen spent
= 19 + 95
= $114
Answer(s): (a) $76; (b) $114
