Well if x is the amount sold and y is the profit, then the original equation would be 
y = 22x because he originally 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:New profit - Old profit = How much more earned
$29 - $22 = $7 extra earned per necklace.
