Krystal buys a necklace for $12.00. Her friend, Lisa buys a belt that is 3 times the cost of Krystal's necklace. You buy a shirt that was 1/6 of the cost of Lisa's belt. How much did you pay for the shirt?
Is it 3 times $12.00 = $36.00
Then, $36.00 times 1/6 or $0.16 = $6
The answer is $6?
correct
To find out how much you paid for the shirt, we need to follow the given information and calculate step by step.
Krystal's necklace costs $12.00.
Lisa's belt is 3 times the cost of Krystal's necklace. So, to find the cost of Lisa's belt, we multiply the cost of Krystal's necklace by 3:
$12.00 * 3 = $36.00.
The cost of your shirt is 1/6 of the cost of Lisa's belt. To find the cost of your shirt, we divide the cost of Lisa's belt by 6:
$36.00 / 6 = $6.00.
Therefore, you paid $6.00 for the shirt.
