Elyse bought a blazer for $19. She also bought a necklace which cost 6 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 = $19
Price of necklace = 6 u
Price of the necklace
= 6 x 19
= $114
Amount that blazer costs less than the necklace
= 114 - 19
= $95
(b)
Total amount that Elyse spent
= 19 + 114
= $133
Answer(s): (a) $95; (b) $133
