Kimberly bought a dress for $22. She also bought a necklace which cost 3 times as much as the dress.
- How much less did the dress cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the dress = 1 u = $22
Price of necklace = 3 u
Price of the necklace
= 3 x 22
= $66
Amount that dress costs less than the necklace
= 66 - 22
= $44
(b)
Total amount that Kimberly spent
= 22 + 66
= $88
Answer(s): (a) $44; (b) $88
