Natalie bought a blouse for $27. She also bought a bracelet which cost 3 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 = $27
Price of bracelet = 3 u
Price of the bracelet
= 3 x 27
= $81
Amount that blouse costs less than the bracelet
= 81 - 27
= $54
(b)
Total amount that Natalie spent
= 27 + 81
= $108
Answer(s): (a) $54; (b) $108
