Rachel bought a jumpsuit for $22. She also bought a necklace which cost 5 times as much as the jumpsuit.
- How much less did the jumpsuit cost than the necklace?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the jumpsuit = 1 u = $22
Price of necklace = 5 u
Price of the necklace
= 5 x 22
= $110
Amount that jumpsuit costs less than the necklace
= 110 - 22
= $88
(b)
Total amount that Rachel spent
= 22 + 110
= $132
Answer(s): (a) $88; (b) $132
