Answer:
The cost of the bracelet was [tex]\$6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> amount of Carla's savings
y-----> the cost of bracelet
we know that
[tex]y=\frac{2}{5}x[/tex] -----> equation A
[tex]1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
so
[tex]9=\frac{3}{5}x[/tex] ----> solve for x
[tex]x=9*5/3=\$15[/tex]
substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y
[tex]y=\frac{2}{5}(15)=\$6[/tex]
