Question:
Sherri has 23 pieces of jewelry to sell. She sells the bracelets for $2 and the necklaces for $3, and earns a total of $55. If the bracelets are represented by x and the necklaces are represented by y, which of the following systems of equations can be used to calculate the number of bracelets and necklaces sold?

Answer choices:
A. x + y = 23, 3x + 2y = 55
B. x + y = 55, 3x + 2y = 23
C. x + y = 23, 2x + 3y = 55
D. x + y = 55, 2x + 3y = 23

Answer 1

x = bracelets
y = necklaces

There are 23 of them in total (necklaces + bracelets)
x + y = 23
 bracelets are $2 each and necklaces are $3 each...totaling $55
2x + 3y = 55
