Answer:
$2.90
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets look at the information given:
Scott made 3 necklaces
$14.40 is the cost for both the beads and pendants for all 3 necklaces
$5.70 was the cost of just beads for all 3 necklaces
Each necklace has 1 pendant
The first step to solving this equation is subtracting the cost of the beads from the total cost for the necklaces:
$14.40 - $5.70= $8.70
Now we know that cost for the 3 pendants for all 3 necklaces was $8.70, but we need to find how much EACH pendant costs. To find out, we simply divide the total cost for all 3 pendants by 3:
$8.70 ÷ 3 = $2.90
So each pendent costs $2.90
