A. n = 0.32t
B. n = 0.68t
C. n = 32t
D. n = 68t
PLS ANSWER!

Answer 1

The percentage of earrings is 32%, which means that the remaining percentage of jewelry items that are not earrings is 100% - 32% = 68%. Therefore, the equation that represents the relationship between the number (n) of jewelry items that are not earrings and the total number (t) of jewelry items produced is: n = 0.68t So, the correct answer is B.

Answer 2

B) n = 0.68t.

If 32% of the jewelry items produced are earrings, then 68% of the jewelry items produced are NOT earrings. Therefore, the equation for n is n = 0.68t.
