Winnie bought a blouse for $17. She also bought a bracelet which cost 6 times as much as the blouse.
- How much less did the blouse cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blouse = 1 u = $17
Price of bracelet = 6 u
Price of the bracelet
= 6 x 17
= $102
Amount that blouse costs less than the bracelet
= 102 - 17
= $85
(b)
Total amount that Winnie spent
= 17 + 102
= $119
Answer(s): (a) $85; (b) $119
