lily sold 18 items at the street fair. she sold bracelets for $6 each and necklaces for $5 each for a total of $101. which system of equations can be used to find b, the number of bracelets she sold, and n, the number of necklaces she sold?

Answer 1

b + n = 18

1b = 11
b = 11
She sold 11 bracelets

18 - 11 = 7
n = 7
She sold 7 necklaces
