Question

Jordan and Sharla are saving money to go on a study abroad trip. They must provide a down payment of $650 to sign up for the trip, and they can pay the remaining balance later. Jordan raises money by mowing lawns in his neighborhood and charges $25 per lawn. Sharla raises money by selling handmade necklaces for $15 each. Sharla raises less money than Jordan does because Sharla 3. only has enough materials to make 40 necklaces. (A) write two constraints to model the problem. Let x respresent the number of lawns Jordan mows and y represent the number of necklaces Sharla sells. (B) can sharla afford the down payment with the money she earns selling her necklaces? Explain your answer Please HELP ASAPm

Answer 1

Amount needed for down payment = $650

Amount charged by Jordan for mowing 1 lawn = $25

Amount charged by Sharla for 1 necklace = $ 15

Let the number of lawns mowed by Jordan = x

Let the number of necklace made by Sharla = y

Part A:

`25x+15y=650`

As it is given, Sharla can make 40 necklace so,

`25x+15(40)=650`

Or it could be 25x=650 and 15y=650

Part B:

No, Sharla cannot afford the down payment because she makes $15 for every necklace and she only has 40 necklaces which is
`15*40=600`
