Answer 1

So overall Marla brought one necklace and two bracelets for $67.50

So, as we know she brought one necklace, we can take away the price of the necklace away from the overall price that she paid, to show us how much she paid for the two bracelets (as that is what will be left).

$67.50 - $27 = $40.50 left over

So now we know she paid $40.50 for TWO bracelets, but we only need one.

To find the amount for 1 bracelet, we will need to divide our answer by two. So:

$40.50 / 2 = $20.25 for each bracelet

Therefore each bracelet cost $20.25. I hope this helps :)
