Sierra is selling bracelets to raise money for the Language Club at school. Each bracelet with yellow beads sells for 5 dollars Each bracelet with orange beads sells for 6 dollars She raised 660 dollars for the club. The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads. Let y represent the number of bracelets with yellow beads and r represent the number of bracelets with orange beads. Which system of equations will solve for the number of each type of bracelet sold?
Answer
A
5 y plus 6 r is equal to 660 y is equal to r plus 8
B
5 y plus 6 r is equal to 660 y is equal to 2 r plus 8
C
6 y plus 5 r is equal to 660 y is equal to 2 r plus 8
D
6 y plus 5 r is equal to 660 r is equal to 2 y plus 8
Explanation
The total money raised is 5 dollars for each yellow-bead bracelet and 6 dollars for each orange-bead bracelet, so the total is 5y + 6r = 660. The number of yellow-bead bracelets is 8 more than twice the number of orange-bead bracelets, which gives y = 2r + 8. These equations are shown in choice B.
