Answer:

  • The total expenses is $156 is the total necklaces sold is 4.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • x = Necklaces created and sold
  • 140 + 4(x) = Total cost
  • 39x = Profit = Total cost
  • Profit = Total cost

Work:

  • 140 + 4x = 39x
  • => 140 = 39x - 4x
  • => 140 = 35x
  • => x = 140/35
  • => x = 4

Now, let's substitute the value of x into any equation to find the total expenses and sales.

  • 140 + 4x
  • => 140 + 4(4)
  • => 156

Hence, the total expenses is $156 is the total necklaces sold is 4.

Hoped this helped.
