Jean bought a dress for $21. She also bought a ring which cost 6 times as much as the dress.
- How much less did the dress cost than the ring?
- How much did she spend altogether?
(a)
Price of the dress = 1 u = $21
Price of ring = 6 u
Price of the ring
= 6 x 21
= $126
Amount that dress costs less than the ring
= 126 - 21
= $105
(b)
Total amount that Jean spent
= 21 + 126
= $147
Answer(s): (a) $105; (b) $147
