Gabby bought a windbreaker for $20. 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 = $20
Price of necklace = 3 u
Price of the necklace
= 3 x 20
= $60
Amount that windbreaker costs less than the necklace
= 60 - 20
= $40
(b)
Total amount that Gabby spent
= 20 + 60
= $80
Answer(s): (a) $40; (b) $80
