Question

Miss Weaver makes jewelry. A necklace costs $6 while a bracelet

costs $3.50. Last week, she sold 18 items of jewelry for a total cost
of $88. How many bracelets did she sell?

Answer 1

She sold 8 bracelets

Explanation:

I knew the number of bracelets would have to be an even number otherwise the total cost would have a decimal. Then I just went down the list doing 3.5*16 + 6*2, etc. until I got the answer (she sold 10 necklaces btw)
