Write and expression that represents the total amount of money Liz and Andy make at the fair if L is the total amount of necklaces Liz sells and A is the total amount of necklaces Andy sells.

Answer 1

Equation for Liz:

L = 8n

Equation for Andy:

A = 8n + 35

Explanation:

Let the no. of necklace be 'n'

Cost per necklace= $8

Equation for Liz:

L = 8n

Because Liz sells only necklace for $8 each

Equation for Andy:

A = 8n + 35

Because Andy sells each necklace for $8 and she sold the bracelets for $35
