$7 because all you have to do is find the greatest common denominator. Which is 7. 7 is the greatest common denominator in the bunch. 7 goes into 21, 42, 49.

Answer:

The most amount she could have charged for each bracelet is:

$ 7

Explanation:

It is given that:

Lana earned $49 on Friday $42 on Saturday,and $21 on Sunday selling bracelets.

Also, she sold each bracelet for the same price.

This means that if the maximum cost of each bracelet will be the greatest common divisor i.e. G.C.D. of the amount she earned each day.

which is G.C.D(49,42,21)=7

Hence, the answer is: $ 7
