Question

Selena spends $53.94 to buy a necklace and bracelet set for each of her friends. Each necklace cost $9.99 and each bracelet cost $7.99. How many necklace and bracelet sets did you buy?

Answer 1

She bought 3 necklace and bracelet sets

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

• Selena spends $53.94 to buy a necklace and bracelet set for each of her friends
• Each necklace cost $9.99
• Each bracelet cost $7.99

We need to find how many necklace and bracelet sets she bought

Assume that the number of necklace and bracelet set is x

∵ Selena bought x necklace and a bracelet sets

- Each set contains a necklace and a bracelet

∵ Each necklace cost $9.99

∵ Each bracelet cost $7.99

∴ The cost of one set = (9.99 + 7.99)

∵ She spent on them $53.94

- Add the cost of a necklace and the cost of a bracelet and

  multiply the sum by x  and then equate the product by 53.94

∴ (9.99 + 7.99)x = 53.94

∴ 17.98 x = 53.94

- Divide both sides by 17.98

∴ x = 3

She bought 3 necklace and bracelet sets
