Calculate Total Entry Cost: Genesis and her 3 friends make 4 people in total. Each person paid $6 to enter, so we calculate the total entry cost for all 4 friends.4×$6=$24
Calculate Cost of Bracelets: Now, we know they spent $42 in total. We subtract the total entry cost from the total amount spent to find out how much they spent on bracelets.$42−$24=$18
Find Cost of One Bracelet: Since the $18 is the total cost for 4 bracelets, we divide by 4 to find the cost of one bracelet.$18/4=$4.50
