Diana bought a dress for $16. She also bought a bracelet which cost 5 times as much as the dress.
- How much less did the dress cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the dress = 1 u = $16
Price of bracelet = 5 u
Price of the bracelet
= 5 x 16
= $80
Amount that dress costs less than the bracelet
= 80 - 16
= $64
(b)
Total amount that Diana spent
= 16 + 80
= $96
Answer(s): (a) $64; (b) $96
