Question

Jade's Gem Shop is having its annual spring sale, when every item in the store gets marked down. During the sale, charm bracelets sell for $4 less than full price. Kristen purchases 5 identical charm bracelets: one for each of her friends. She pays a total of $45.
Which equation can Kristen use to find how much money, c, each charm bracelet costs at full price?

Answer 1

5(c − 4) = 45

(If you solve it: c − 4 = 9, so c = $13.)
