Hilda bought a sweater for $18. She also bought a ring which cost 6 times as much as the sweater.
- How much less did the sweater cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the sweater = 1 u = $18
Price of ring = 6 u
Price of the ring
= 6 x 18
= $108
Amount that sweater costs less than the ring
= 108 - 18
= $90
(b)
Total amount that Hilda spent
= 18 + 108
= $126
Answer(s): (a) $90; (b) $126
