Eva bought a sweater for $16. She also bought a necklace which cost 3 times as much as the sweater.
- How much less did the sweater cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the sweater = 1 u = $16
Price of necklace = 3 u
Price of the necklace
= 3 x 16
= $48
Amount that sweater costs less than the necklace
= 48 - 16
= $32
(b)
Total amount that Eva spent
= 16 + 48
= $64
Answer(s): (a) $32; (b) $64
