20 Bracelets and 60 headbands
50 Bracelets and 10 headbands

Answer 1

To determine which combination Janelle can sell to make at least $200 but have no more than 100 items sold, we need to calculate the total cost of each combination and make sure it meets the given conditions.

For the first combination:
70 Bracelets cost: 70 * $2 = $<<70*2=140>>140
40 Headbands cost: 40 * $4 = $<<40*4=160>>160
Total cost: $140 + $160 = $<<140+160=300>>300

For the second combination:
20 Bracelets cost: 20 * $2 = $<<20*2=40>>40
60 Headbands cost: 60 * $4 = $<<60*4=240>>240
Total cost: $40 + $240 = $<<40+240=280>>280

For the third combination:
50 Bracelets cost: 50 * $2 = $<<50*2=100>>100
10 Headbands cost: 10 * $4 = $<<10*4=40>>40
Total cost: $100 + $40 = $<<100+40=140>>140

Based on these calculations, Janelle can sell the third combination of 50 Bracelets and 10 Headbands to make at least $200 ($140) and have no more than 100 items sold.
