To solve this problem, let's break down the information given. Rebecca buys some scarves that cost $5 each. Let's say she buys 'n' scarves. This means the total cost of the scarves would be 5n.
She also buys two purses that cost $12 each. The total cost of the purses would be 2 * 12 = $24.
The total purchase cost is given as $39.
Now, let's form the equation for the number of scarves Rebecca buys - we know the total cost of the scarves and purses combined should equal $39.
So, the equation can be written as: 5n + 24 = 39.
Therefore, the correct equation to find the number of scarves that Rebecca buys is Option B: 5n + 24 = 39.
