    She bought 3 necklace and bracelet sets

    If i can be brainliest that would be great

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Each set contains a necklace and a bracelet

    ∵ Each necklace cost $9.99

    ∵ Each bracelet cost $7.99

    ∴ The cost of one set = (9.99 + 7.99)

    ∵ She spent on them $53.94

    - Add the cost of a necklace and the cost of a bracelet and

    multiply the sum by x and then equate the product by 53.94

    ∴ (9.99 + 7.99) x = 53.94

    ∴ 17.98 x = 53.94

    - Divide both sides by 17.98

    ∴ x = 3
