Question

Amanda made 2 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for both necklaces was $10.80 If the beads cost a total of $5.40, how much did each pendant cost?

Answer 1

Each pendant cost $2.70

Explanation:

I know this because the total is $10.80 and the total for the beads is $5.40, so we would subtract those two numbers to get $5.40. To add on, there are two identical necklaces, so that's 2 pendants. Since there are two pendants, you would divide the total cost of the pendants, $5.40 into 2 to get $2.70. Therefore, each pendant costs $2.70.
