Answer 1

The equation that could be used to find how many charms are on a bracelet that costs $96 will be:  $12+6c=96$  and they can buy 14 charms.

Explanation

The cost of a charm bracelet is $12 without the charms and the additional cost is $6 for each charm.

If the number of charms added to the bracelet is '$c$' , then the total additional cost for the charms will be:  $\ 6c$

Given that, the total cost of the bracelet with charms is $96.

So the equation will be:   $12+6c=96$

Now solving the above equation, we will get.....

$12+6c=96\\ \\ 6c=96-12=84\\ \\ c=\frac{84}{6}=14$

Thus, they can buy 14 charms.
