asked • 01/31/22Avery wants to buy a charm bracelet. Vindale Fine Jewelry charges $12 per charm, plus $30 for the bracelet. Hardin Jewelers, in contrast, charges $16 per charm and $10 for the bracelet. If Avery wants to add a certain number of charms to her bracelet, the cost will be the same at either jewelry shop. What would the total cost of the bracelet be?
Let x be the number of charms and y be the cost of the bracelet.
Cost of Vindale bracelet: y = 12x + 30
Cost of Hardin bracelet: y = 16x + 10
Graph the two linear equations. The point where they intersect is where they are equal and the y-value of the intersection is the cost.
