Tina bought a vest for $24. She also bought a ring which cost 3 times as much as the vest.
- How much less did the vest cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the vest = 1 u = $24
Price of ring = 3 u
Price of the ring
= 3 x 24
= $72
Amount that vest costs less than the ring
= 72 - 24
= $48
(b)
Total amount that Tina spent
= 24 + 72
= $96
Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $96
