Question

Olivia purchases gifts for her mom and grandma for Mother's Day. The first pair of sunglasses for $16.35 and the second is a bracelet. Her total is $39.75. How much did she spend on the bracelet? The equation is $39.75 - $16.35 = b. Solve for b

Answer 1

Olivia spent $23.40 on the bracelet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount Olivia spent on the bracelet, we need to subtract the cost of the sunglasses from her total purchase amount. The equation is $39.75 - $16.35 = b, where b represents the cost of the bracelet.

Subtracting, we get $23.40 = b.

Therefore, Olivia spent $23.40 on the bracelet.
