i wouldn't pay $22 dollars for a necklace if it was name brand

anonymous · Answer

Well if x is the amount sold and y is the profit, then the original equation would be 
y = 22x   since origianlly he was selling them for $22 dollars each.
That means that in the equation y = 29x, 29 is the amount of profit per each necklace. From here it is just simple subtraction.
New profit - Old profit = How much more earned
$29 - $22 = $7 extra earned per necklace.
