Question

A summer jacket costs $10. A winter jacket costs 7 times more as the summer jacket. Descartes has $68. Can he buy the winter jacket?

Answer 1

If a summer jacket is $10 and a winter jacket is 7 × $10 = $70.

Descartes has $68.

$68 - $70 = -$2.

Descartes does not have enough money to buy a winter jacket because a winter jacket costs $70 and he only has $68
