Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: 42.50 is the max she can spend there’s .08 cent per dollar. $29 dollars for the shirt plus tax it’ll be 31.32 now Mrs.Miller is left with 11.18 out of her 42.50. Divide 11.18 by 4.50 because that’s the cost of each bracelet. 4.50 multiplied by 2 equals 9 plus tax it’ll be 9.72. 11.18 she had left minuse the 9.72 she’s left with 1.46
