Question

At a local fair, Molly sells bracelets. It costs her

$10 per bracelet for supplies and the local marke
charges her a one-time booth fee of $60. She
charges $20 for each bracelet.
a) Write a system of equations to represent this
situation (one equation for expenses and one
equation for income):

Answer 1

10x + 60 ; 20x

Explanation:

Given that:

Purchase price per bracelet = $10

Cost of booth = $60

Selling price per bracelet = $20

Hence,

Let number of bracelets = x

Expense equation :

(Price per bracelet * number of bracelet) + booth fee

(10 * x) + 60

10x + 60

Income equation :

Selling price * number of bracelets

20x
