Question

Lily sold 18 items at the street fair. She sold bracelets for $6 each and necklaces for $5 each for a total of $101. Which system of equations can be used to find b, the number of bracelets she sold, and n, the number of necklaces she sold?

Answer 1

$101 can be used because is the highest

Answer 2

b + n =18
6b + 5n = 101

I will be using elimination for the answer.
-5b - 5n = -90
6b + 5n =101

1b = 11
b = 11
She sold 11 bracelets

18 - 11 = 7
n = 7
She sold 7 necklaces
