Number of bracelets:

Answer 1

To determine the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy, we need to solve the equation 3.50x + 22 = 36 for x.

First, subtract 22 from both sides of the equation:
3.50x = 14

Then, divide both sides by 3.50:
x = 4

Therefore, Mr. Gonzales could buy a maximum of 4 bracelets.
