Let the cost of necklace be $N and bracelet be $B
\n" ); document.write( "Together they cost $192, so N+B= 192 ...(1)
\n" ); document.write( "given N = 3*B ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of 2 in 1
\n" ); document.write( " N+B=192
\n" ); document.write( " 3B+B= 192
\n" ); document.write( " 4B= 192
\n" ); document.write( " B= 192/4
\n" ); document.write( " B= 48
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of bracelet is $48
\n" ); document.write( "Put in the value of B in 1 to get the value of N
\n" ); document.write( " N+B= 192
\n" ); document.write( " N+48=192
\n" ); document.write( " N= 192-48
\n" ); document.write( " N= 144
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of necklace is $144\r
