wristbands of the other type can be modeled by the expression 5x + 8y. What does the variable y represent in this situation?

Answer:

Number of Beaded wristband sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Wristband types

Beaded and Rope

Beaded are more expensive than ropes

The total amount for selling x of one type and y of the other type equals 5x + 8y

In this situation, we expect x and y to represent the number of each of the two types of wristbands sold.

For the variable y with a Coefficient of 8, we can conclude that y is the number of beaded wristbands sold because the the beaded is said to be more expensive than the rope Wristband.

And 8 > 5
