Question

The price of a necklace is $4,500, more than twice the price of a bracelet. If the price of the necklace and bracelet together is $30000, Find the price of the necklace.

Answer 1

$21,500

Explanation:

let's assume the price of the bracelet as x.

Price of a necklace= 2x+4,500

Price of necklace and bracelet together

x+2x+4,500= 30,000

3x=25,500

x= $ 8,500

then you have to substitue x value for 2x+4,500(equation for the price of necklace )

2x+4,500

2 × 8,500 + 4,500 = $21,500

Hope this will be helpful =)
