Question

Reuben made 4 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 4 necklaces was $24.40. If the beads cost $2.20 for each necklace, how much did each pendant cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost was $24.40.

We know the cost for beads for each necklace is also $2.20, multiply this by four to find the cost of the beads for all the necklaces.

$2.20 × 4 = $8.80

Now we will subtract this from the total price.

$24.40 - $8.80 = $15.60

$15.60 Is the remaining cost for the pendants of all four necklaces. We will now divide this by four to find the price of a single pendant.

$15.60 ÷ 4 = $3.90

This means the cost of each pendant is $3.90

Answer 2

2.20•4=8.80 so if you subtract that by 24.40 you get 15.60 and if you divide that by 4 you get 3.90 for each pendant. If you wanna check it you can add 3.90 and 2.20 together and multiply it by 4 and you get 24.40
