Question

Hyo-Jin makes bracelets and sells them on an online craft website. Last month, she sold 6 bracelets. After paying the website a commission of $1.25 for each bracelet sold, Hyo-Jin made a total of $16.50. How much does each bracelet sell for on the website? Explain the steps you followed to get your answer

Answer 1

I set up an equation to show that the number of bracelets multiplied by the cost of each bracelet minus the commission is equal to the total, 6(x – 1.25) = 16.50. I divided each side by 6, then added 1.25 to each side with a result of x = 4. Hyo-Jim sold each bracelet for $4.
