Question

Donna made 2 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for both necklaces was $10.20. If the beads cost $3.20 for each necklace, how much did each pendant cost?

Answer 1

Each pendant costs $1.90. The total costs to make the 2 necklaces (beads and pendant) is $10.20. You have to find how much the beads cost for BOTH necklaces so you would solve $3.20 x 2. You would get $6.40. So now you subtract $6.40 from $10.20 to find how much the pendant for both necklaces cost. That would be $3.80 now you just divide by 2 to find the cost of 1 pendant.
