Writing an equation

We know Miriam spends a total of $200

We know $60 of it is spent on rings

We know she buys 4 bracelets that have the same price, but that price is an unknown

The price of the 4 bracelets in total should be equal to 4x, where x is the price of each one.

We know the $60 spent on rings and what she spent on the 4 bracelets in addition should give us the total price.

That is

4x + $60 = $200

Answer part A: C

Answer of part B: Taking into consideration what we said before, x is the price of each bracelet.
