Step-by-step explanation:
let necklace : x
let earrings : y
x+y=144 -1st eqn
6x+5y=825 -2nd eqn
y=144-X -3rd eqn
substitute eqn into 2nd eqn
6x+5(144-x)= 825
6x +720-5X =825 (expanded)
X = 825-720
X =105
substitute "X=105" into 1st eqn
(105)+y=144
y= 144-105
y=39
1 necklace = 105$
1 pair of earrings = 39$
(to check back: substitute the value into the original eqn)

Answer:
$900
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for simple interest: i = p r t, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal amount, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the time in years.
Here, i = $27 = p(0.015)(2), or
$27 = 0.03p
Dividing both sides by 0.03, we get:
p = $27 / 0.03 = $900
The principal, in this situation, was $900.
