Answer:

She can buy "3 bracelets" and "4 necklaces" after this she will have 1$ left

Explanation:

Y=3-4=1 for each bracelet is worth $8.5 for 1.

She spends $17 on 2 bracelets and a total of $31. so

P= 17+8.5+8.5-3

Y 17+8.5+8.5-3 - In the total of the purchase Y represents the cost and X represents the time. for P= purchase

so for X ( bracelets ) P = 2 + 5 + 1 = 8 for all. for the Y (Price) X= $31 - $19 - $5 - $1. She is left with only $6 left without buying a bracelet.

The jewelry cost for each is $1.60

19-6-2-1 = 1.58 ($1.60) she has spent $2.44 in each for the answer is

$2.44
