Sarah charges $6.00 for one bracelet.

We know that a collection of one or more linear equations containing the same variables is known as a system of linear equations in mathematics.

Let Sarah charges $x and $y for one bracelet and one ring respectively.

Since her first customer spends $48 on 3 bracelets and 10 rings, we can write it as

3x + 10y = 48 ...(1)

Since her second customer spends $54 on 7 bracelets and 4 rings, we can write it as

7x + 4y = 54 ...(2)

Now, we have to solve this system of linear equations.

Multiplying (1) by 2, 6x + 20y = 96 ...(3)

Multiplying (2) by 5, 35x + 20y = 270 ...(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4), 35x + 20y - 6x - 20y = 270 - 96

i.e. 29x = 174

i.e. x = 174/29 = 6

Therefore we can conclude that Sarah charges $6 for one bracelet. Option B is correct.
