QuestionA bag costs 4 times a dress. If the bag costs \$276, how much does Anna spend on the bag and 3 dresses?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The bag costs4 times as much as a dress. . The cost of the bag is $276.
3. Anna buys one bag and three dresses.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the cost of a dress. We can do this by dividing the cost of the bag by4.
$Cost\, of\, dress = Cost\, of\, bag /4$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the cost of the bag to calculate the cost of the dress.
$Cost\, of\, dress = \$276 /$

STEP 4

Calculate the cost of a dress.
$Cost\, of\, dress = \$276 /4 = \$69$

STEP 5

Now that we have the cost of a dress, we can find the total cost for3 dresses. We can do this by multiplying the cost of a dress by3.
$Total\, cost\, for\,3\, dresses = Cost\, of\, dress \\times3$

STEP 6

Plug in the value for the cost of a dress to calculate the total cost for3 dresses.
$Total\, cost\, for\,3\, dresses = \$69 \\times3$

STEP 7

Calculate the total cost for3 dresses.
$Total\, cost\, for\,3\, dresses = \$69 \\times3 = \$207$

STEP 8

Now that we have the total cost for3 dresses and the cost of the bag, we can find the total amount Anna spends. This includes the cost of the bag and the total cost for3 dresses.
$Total\, amount = Cost\, of\, bag + Total\, cost\, for\,3\, dresses$

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the cost of the bag and the total cost for3 dresses to calculate the total amount.
$Total\, amount = \$276 + \$207$

STEP 10

Calculate the total amount Anna spends.
$Total\, amount = \$276 + \$207 = \$483$ Anna spends $483 on the bag and3 dresses.
