Opal bought a shirt for $28. She also bought a necklace which cost 6 times as much as the shirt.
- How much less did the shirt cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the shirt = 1 u = $28
Price of necklace = 6 u
Price of the necklace
= 6 x 28
= $168
Amount that shirt costs less than the necklace
= 168 - 28
= $140
(b)
Total amount that Opal spent
= 28 + 168
= $196
Answer(s): (a) $140; (b) $196
