Question

Sarah makes home-made jewelry sets. Each jewelry set includes a necklace, a bracelet and two earrings. Given below are the number of beads Sarah adds to each type of jewelry.

Necklace: 48
Bracelet: 19
Earrings: 6 (both earrings combined)

What is the largest number of jewelry sets she can make with 7100 beads?

Answer 1

Based on the number of beads that are needed to make a jewelry set, the largest number of jewelry sets that Sarah can make with 7,100 beads is 97 jewelry sets.  

What amount of jewelry sets can Sarah make?

First find the total number of beads used per jewelry set:

= Necklace + Bracelet + Earrings

= 48 + 19 + 6

= 73 beads

If she had 7,100 beads, the sets she could make would be:

= Total number of beads / Beads per set

= 7,100 / 73

= 97 jewelry sets
