Emma uses turquoise beads to make bracelets to sell at an event. The total amount Emma earns, y, is proportional to the number of bracelets, x, she sells. Emma earns $10 for each sold bracelet. Which equation represents the total amount Emma earns at the event?
well, it says right off that y = k x
but then it tells you that k = $10/bracelet
so
y = 10 x
Now of course I do not see your list of choices but sure hope that is one of them. Nor do I know what Emma paid for the bracelets she sold so I do not really know what she "earned".
To find the equation that represents the total amount Emma earns at the event, we need to use the given information. We know that Emma earns $10 for each sold bracelet.
The total amount Emma earns, y, is proportional to the number of bracelets, x, she sells. In other words, the more bracelets she sells, the more money she earns.
To express this relationship mathematically, we can use the equation:
y = 10x
Here, y represents the total amount Emma earns and x represents the number of bracelets she sells. The equation tells us that for each bracelet sold, Emma earns $10. By multiplying the number of bracelets sold (x) by $10, we can determine the total amount Emma earns (y).
