Question

Janelle and her friends are selling bracelets and headbands ahead of the school’s pep rally to support the team during homecoming. They figured they would sell the headbands for $4 and the bracelets for $2. They’d like to make at least $200 and sell no more than 100 items.

Select one of the following combinations that Janelle can sell to make at least $200, but have no more than 100 items sold.

(1 point)

20 bracelets, and 60 headbands

70 Bracelets and 40 headbands

45 Bracelets and 60 headbands

40 Bracelets and 10 Headbands

Answer 1

Check each pair (bracelets b, headbands h):

1) 20 b, 60 h: items = 20+60 = 80 ≤ 100; revenue = 2(20)+4(60)=40+240=280 ≥ 200 → valid.

2) 70 b, 40 h: items = 110 > 100 → invalid.

3) 45 b, 60 h: items = 105 > 100 → invalid.

4) 40 b, 10 h: items = 50 ≤ 100; revenue = 2(40)+4(10)=80+40=120 < 200 → invalid.

So option 1 is the correct choice.
