Okay, suppose you have a lemonade stand. you sell one glass of lemonade for 2 dollars. suppose you sold ten glasses of lemonade. How much money did you make?

Answer 6

@WhiteFlower , you don't need to know how many bracelets she made.

Answer 7

you said

what would you do?

Answer 8

Oh :/ ok lol I understand, thanks

Answer 9

what would you do?

Answer 10

If Kayla made 10 bracelets she would make $70.

Answer 11

you would multiply the number of bracelets times $7

notice that the problem says
Let b represent the number of bracelets

that means instead of using a number like 10, use a letter b for the number.
think like this: b is a number (I just don't know which number)
but if you have b bracelets, how much money do you make when you sell them for $7 each?

Oh, ok THANKS!!!!

lol

Answer 14
