Answer 2

Answer: (C.)If x represents the number of bracelets sold at $24 each and y represents the number of rings sold at $38 each, the total sales were $520.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

24x + 38y = 520

In general, prices of thing doesn't change, they are constant values. Values that can vary are the quantities sold.

For example for the term 24x, since 24 is a constant it can be the price of a bracelet, and x the number of bracelets sold.

Adding both products is equal to the total sales.

So, the correct option is C.
