Question

A company sells boxes of bracelets (b) for $30 and boxes of necklaces (n) for $50. They make batches of bracelets that fill 5 boxes and batches of necklaces that fill 7 boxes. The company only has 48 boxes. Which system of equations helps the company plan to make $320? b = 48 - n. 5b + 7n = 48. b = 48 - n. 30b + 50n = 320. 5b = 48 - 7n. 30b + 50n = 320. 5b = 48 - 7n. 30b - 50n = 320

Answer 1

So by assigning its value to a variable in forming the formula of the equation so the answer would be 5b = 48-n and 30b+50n = 320 which the value of B represent the boxes of bracelets and the N is the batches of necklace. I hope my answer is correct and precise.

Answer 2

To get the write expression, it is best to understand and dissect each statement written.

sells boxes of bracelets (b) for $30
boxes of necklaces (n) for $50
batches of bracelets that fill 5 boxes
batches of necklaces that fill 7 boxes
Total number of boxes = 48
Total cost = 320

The equations that will solve the problem are:

5b = 48 - 7n 30
b + 50n = 320
