Joelle bought a sweater for $23. She also bought a bracelet which cost 3 times as much as the sweater.
- How much less did the sweater cost than the bracelet?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the sweater = 1 u = $23
Price of bracelet = 3 u
Price of the bracelet
= 3 x 23
= $69
Amount that sweater costs less than the bracelet
= 69 - 23
= $46
(b)
Total amount that Joelle spent
= 23 + 69
= $92
Answer(s): (a) $46; (b) $92
