Ivory bought a jumpsuit for $24. She also bought a necklace which cost 6 times as much as the jumpsuit.
- How much less did the jumpsuit cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the jumpsuit = 1 u = $24
Price of necklace = 6 u
Price of the necklace
= 6 x 24
= $144
Amount that jumpsuit costs less than the necklace
= 144 - 24
= $120
(b)
Total amount that Ivory spent
= 24 + 144
= $168
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $168
