Question

Salma made 6 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 6 necklaces was $35.40. If the beads cost $2.60 for each necklace, how much did each pendant cost?

Answer 1

6(2.60) +p =$35.40
15.60 +p = $35.40
P=$19.80 but that is for all 6 pendant so must divide by 6
19.90 /6 =3.30
So each pendant is $3.30

Answer 2

$3.30

Explanation:

2.60*6= $15.60 beads per necklace

35.40-15.60= $19.80 total pendant

19.80/6= $3.30 per pendant
