To determine how many scarves Rebecca buys, we can set up an equation based on the cost of the scarves and the total purchase cost.
Let's denote the number of scarves Rebecca buys as "n".
The cost of one scarf is $5. Thus, the cost of "n" scarves would be 5n.
Rebecca also buys two purses, each costing $12. So the cost of two purses would be 2 * $12 = $24.
Adding the cost of scarves and purses, we get:
5n + $24 = $39
This equation represents the total cost of Rebecca's purchase and can be used to find the number of scarves she buys.
So the correct equation is:
5n + $24 = $39
Therefore, the answer is A. 5 + 24n = 39.
