They would need to sell 20 bracelets at $5 each and would also need to sell 15 necklaces at $7 each.
how i got those answers is this:
$100/$5= 20
you take the total amount you are looking for and take the second number quality you already know divide the to find the value of x.
$100/$7=14.8 but since you can not make and sell a partial necklace you will want to round up to make slightly over the ideal price.

Thanks Gillian for a brilliant attempt. When I initially put pen on paper..., the only way I was able to interpret the question was: Let the bracelet be represented by 'b' Let the necklace be represented by 'n' By virtue of the question, "How many of both does she need to sell to make at least $100". It then implies that: 5b+7n >= 100 since the sales involves both product. So in the light of this, what should be the value for 'b' and 'n'?03/20/20
