Linda bought a blazer for $24. She also bought a necklace which cost 4 times as much as the blazer.
- How much less did the blazer cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blazer = 1 u = $24
Price of necklace = 4 u
Price of the necklace
= 4 x 24
= $96
Amount that blazer costs less than the necklace
= 96 - 24
= $72
(b)
Total amount that Linda spent
= 24 + 96
= $120
Answer(s): (a) $72; (b) $120
