Wendy bought a dress for $17. She also bought a bracelet which cost 4 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 = $17
Price of bracelet = 4 u
Price of the bracelet
= 4 x 17
= $68
Amount that dress costs less than the bracelet
= 68 - 17
= $51
(b)
Total amount that Wendy spent
= 17 + 68
= $85
Answer(s): (a) $51; (b) $85
