Question

A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 7 grams and the amount of gold in each necklace is 20 grams. The jeweler used 109 grams of gold and made 4 more bracelets than necklaces. Determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 necklaces and 12 bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

Bracelets = x +4

amount of necklace gold  =   20*x

amount of gold in bracelet = 7*(x+4)    

added together = 109 gm

 20x    +  7(x+4)     =    109    

20x + 7x+28 = 109

27x+28=109

-28        -28

27x= 81

/27   /27

x=3 necklaces

then bracelets = 3+4=12
