My question is: If Patty's dress was $10 more than Ida's dress, and Ida's dress was $30 more than Jean's dress, and Jean's dress was $10 less than Pauline's dress, and lastly Pauline's dress was $30, how much did all the ladies spend on dressed put together? Your thoughts:

Jean's dress was $10 less than Pauline's $30 dress, meaning it was 30 - 10 = 20 dollars. Ida's dress was $30 more than Jean's $20 dress, meaning it was 30 + 20 = 50 dollars. Patty's dress was $10 more than Ida's $50 dress, meaning it was 50 + 10 = 60 dollars. Therefore, all four women together spent 60 + 50 + 20 + 30 = 160 dollars. The final answer: 160.
