Yen bought a windbreaker for $15. She also bought a necklace which cost 4 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 = $15
Price of necklace = 4 u
Price of the necklace
= 4 x 15
= $60
Amount that windbreaker costs less than the necklace
= 60 - 15
= $45
(b)
Total amount that Yen spent
= 15 + 60
= $75
Answer(s): (a) $45; (b) $75
