Cathy bought a vest for $26. She also bought a necklace which cost 4 times as much as the vest.
- How much less did the vest cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the vest = 1 u = $26
Price of necklace = 4 u
Price of the necklace
= 4 x 26
= $104
Amount that vest costs less than the necklace
= 104 - 26
= $78
(b)
Total amount that Cathy spent
= 26 + 104
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $78; (b) $130
