Risa bought a blouse for $27. She also bought a ring which cost 6 times as much as the blouse.
- How much less did the blouse cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the blouse = 1 u = $27
Price of ring = 6 u
Price of the ring
= 6 x 27
= $162
Amount that blouse costs less than the ring
= 162 - 27
= $135
(b)
Total amount that Risa spent
= 27 + 162
= $189
Answer(s): (a) $135; (b) $189
