46.50 - 19 = 5.50x

We get the 46.50 from her budget and the 19 from the shirt she wants to buy. If we subtract 19 from 46.50, we'll get the amount of money Jasmine can spend on bracelets.

46.50 - 19 = 27.50

She has $27.50 to spend on bracelets. Now, we divide that by 5.50 (the price of a bracelet) to see how many she can buy.

27.50 ÷ 5.50 = 5

Jasmine can buy 5 bracelets.

Hope this helps!
