conversations.value: This math problem has got me stumped: Princess Daphne bought three necklaces and a set of earrings for a total of $240,000.  If all three necklaces were equal in price, and the earrings were three times as expensive as any one necklace, then how expensive was the cost of a single necklace?
  Can you show me the way?

conversations.value: Let "x" be the price of a single necklace.
  Thus, the cost of the earrings would be 3x.
  And since all items totaled $240,000, then x+x+x+3x = $240,000
  Therefore, this simplifies to 6x=240,000
  And, solving for x we see that the price of a single necklace is x = $40,000
