Question

Megan is shopping at a store that sells jewelry, scarves, and purses. The cost of all of the items at the store includes tax. Megan buys 3 bracelets and 3 necklaces. Each bracelet costs $5. Megan pays the clerk $40 and gets $4 change. What is the cost, in dollars, of one necklace? Enter your answer in the space below, round it to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

The cost of the necklace would be 7 dollars.

5*3 = 15

40-4=36

36-15=21

21/3= 7 dollar necklaces.

I didn't round to the nearest integer you have to do that yourself.
