Jaslyn paid a total of $165 for a cardigan, a pair of socks and a pair of moccasins. She spent ⁵₁₁ of her money on the pair of socks. The pair of moccasins cost 8 times as much as the cardigan. How much more did she pay for the pair of moccasins than the cardigan?
Amount that Jaslyn paid for the pair of socks
= ⁵₁₁ x 165 
= $75

Amount that Jaslyn left after buying the socks
= 165 - 75
= $90

Amount that Jaslyn paid for the cardigan = 1 u
Amount that Jaslyn paid for the moccasins = 8 u

Total amount spent on the cardigan and the pair of moccasins
= 1 u + 8 u
= 9 u

9 u = 90

1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10

Amount that Jaslyn paid more for the pair of moccasins than the cardigan
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= $70

Answer(s): $70
