Deandre made 3 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 3 necklaces was 13.50. If the beads cost a total of 4.80 , how much did each pendant cost?

Answer 1

Let the cost of each pendant be x.

Since the total cost of the beads and pendants for all 3 necklaces was 13.50, we can set up an equation:
3x + 4.80 = 13.50

Subtract 4.80 from both sides:
3x = 8.70

Divide by 3:
x = 2.90

Therefore, each pendant cost 2.90.
