Shannon bought a coat for $18. She also bought a ring which cost 4 times as much as the coat.
- How much less did the coat cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the coat = 1 u = $18
Price of ring = 4 u
Price of the ring
= 4 x 18
= $72
Amount that coat costs less than the ring
= 72 - 18
= $54
(b)
Total amount that Shannon spent
= 18 + 72
= $90
Answer(s): (a) $54; (b) $90
