Brianna spent $65 on necklaces and bracelets at a crafts fair. She spent $23 on bracelets and
the rest on necklaces. If the necklaces all cost the same, and Brianna bought 6, how much
did each necklace cost?
(65-23)/6 = ___
no
To find out how much each necklace cost, we need to first calculate the total amount Brianna spent on necklaces.
Brianna spent a total of $65 at the crafts fair.
She spent $23 on bracelets, so she spent $65 - $23 = $42 on necklaces.
Next, we need to determine how many necklaces Brianna bought.
She bought a total of 6 necklaces.
To calculate the cost of each necklace, we divide the total amount spent on necklaces by the number of necklaces purchased.
Each necklace costs $42 ÷ 6 = $7.
Therefore, each necklace costs $7.
To find out how much each necklace cost, we need to determine how much Brianna spent on necklaces and then divide it by the number of necklaces she bought.
We know that Brianna spent a total of $65 on necklaces and bracelets. She spent $23 on bracelets, so the amount she spent on necklaces can be calculated by subtracting the amount spent on bracelets from the total amount spent:
Amount spent on necklaces = Total amount spent - Amount spent on bracelets
Amount spent on necklaces = $65 - $23
Amount spent on necklaces = $42
Now that we know the amount spent on necklaces, we can divide it by the number of necklaces bought to find out how much each necklace costs:
Cost of each necklace = Amount spent on necklaces / Number of necklaces bought
Cost of each necklace = $42 / 6
Cost of each necklace = $7
Therefore, each necklace costs $7.
