Question

Gemma and Leah are both jewelry makers. Gemma made 106 beaded necklaces. Leah made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.

Answer 1

Answer:

Gemma made $34 more than Leah.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gemma made number of beaded necklaces = 106

Leah made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.

Leah made number of beaded necklaces  = 106 + 39 = 145

a. There are 104 beads on each necklace.

The total number of beads used altogether

= (106 × 104) + (145 × 104)

= 11,024 + 15,080

= 26,104

b. Gemma sold her 106 necklaces for = $14

Total price of her necklaces = 106 × 14

                                               = $1,484

Leah sold her 145 necklaces for = $10

Total price of her necklaces = 145 × 10

                                               = $1,450

Difference in Gemma and Leah's amount = 1484 - 1450 = $34.00

Therefore, Gemma made $34.00 more money than Leah.
