Question

Anne-marienhas saved 9 dollars for a new coat that is 1/6 as much money as she needs how much does the coat cost

Answer 1

Cost of the coat = $54

Explanation:

Given:

She saved = $ 9

To Find:

Cost of the coat = ?

Solution:

Let the price of coat be x

She saved $9

and according to given condition it is 1/6 of the total money she needs for buying coat

by this we have

`(1)/(6)*x = 9`

Multiplying both sides by 6

`(1)/(6)*x*6 = 9*6`

it becomes

x = 9*6

x = $54

As x is the amount she needs

so

Cost of the coat = $54
