Question

Sierra is selling bracelets to raise money for the Language Club at school. Each bracelet with yellow beads sells for $5. Each bracelet with orange beads sells for $6. She raised $660 for the club. The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads. Let y represent the number of bracelets with yellow beads and r represent the number of bracelets with orange beads.Which system of equations will solve for the number of each type of bracelet sold?
5 y + 6 r = 660. y = 2 r + 8.
6 y + 5 r = 660. y = 2 r + 8.
5 y + 6 r = 660. y = r + 8.
6 y + 5 r = 660. r = 2 y + 8.

Answer 1

The correct system of equations to solve for the number of each type of bracelet sold is:

5y + 6r = 660
y = 2r + 8
