Answer:

A

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

b = cost of bracelet

n = cost of necklace

2b+3n = 15.50

4b+1n = 13.50

Multiply the first equation by -2

-4b -6n = -31

4b +n = 13.50

---------------------------

-5n = -17.50

Divide each side by -5

-5n/-5 = -17.5/-5

n = 3.50

Now we can find b

4b+n = 13.50

4b+3.50 = 13.50

4b+3.50-3.50 = 13.50 -3.50

4b = 10

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 10/4

b = 2.50
