You sell bracelets for 2$ each and necklaces for 3$ each at a local flea market. you collected 95$, selling a total of 37 jewelry items. how many of each type of jewelry did you sell?

Use simultaneous equations.

let the number of bracelets be y and necklaces be z.

so

2y + 3z = 95. this is formula 1

y + z = 37. this is formula 2

so from formula 2, we can change that to

y = 37 - z. this is formula 3

sub 3 into 1,

2 (37-z) + 3z = 95

74 - 2z + 3z = 95

z = 21

sub z = 21 into 3,

y = 37 - 21

y = 16

therefore you sold 16 bracelets and 21 necklaces
