Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The amount she paid for each bracelet is:

$ 20.25

Explanation:

Marla bought one necklace and two bracelets for $67.50.

The bracelets were both the same price.

Let the cost of one bracelet= $ x

Hence, cost of two bracelet= $ 2x

The price of the necklace was $27.

This means that the total cost is equal to the sum of cost of 2 bracelet and one necklace.

i.e.

2x+27=67.50

2x=67.50-27

2x=40.5

i.e.

x= 40.5/2

x=20.25
