Let X be the full price of each charm bracelet. During the summer sale, each charm bracelet sells for X - $5.
So for 3 charm bracelets, the total cost is 3(X - $5), which is equal to $36.
Thus, we have the equation 3(X - $5) = $36.
Expanding the equation, we get 3X - $15 = $36.
Adding $15 to both sides, we get 3X = $36 + $15.
Combining like terms, we get 3X = $51.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get X = $17.
Thus, each charm bracelet costs $17 at full price. Answer: \boxed{17}.
