Answer 6

x = amount sold
y=the profit
original equation =y = 22x
y = 29x=is the amount of profit per each necklace.
$29 - $22 = $7 extra earned per necklace.

Answer 7

old system : profit is $22/ per one
new one: total profit y = profit of each * number of necklace = 29 *x
--> new system: profit of each is $29 / per one
the difference between old and new is 29-22
dat sit
