Question

Sherri has 23 pieces of jewelry to sell. She sells the bracelets for $2 and the necklaces for $3, and earns a total of $55. If the bracelets are represented by x and the necklaces are represented by y, which of the following systems of equations can be used to calculate the number of bracelets and necklaces sold?

Answer 1

x+y=23, 3x+2y = 55
x + y = 55, 3x + 2y = 55
x+y=23, 2x+3y= 55
x+y=55, 2x+3y =23
