Tammy bought a jacket for $18. She also bought a ring which cost 5 times as much as the jacket.
- How much less did the jacket cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the jacket = 1 u = $18
Price of ring = 5 u
Price of the ring
= 5 x 18
= $90
Amount that jacket costs less than the ring
= 90 - 18
= $72
(b)
Total amount that Tammy spent
= 18 + 90
= $108
Answer(s): (a) $72; (b) $108
