Answer:

The equation for the problem is:

[tex]0.75*b=s[/tex]

The amount of bracelets you should sell is the price of the soccer cleats divided by 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call b the amount of bracelets and s the price of the soccer cleats.

If you make a profit of $0.75 for every bracelet you sell, then 0.75 times the amount of bracelets sold should be equal to the price of the soccer cleats.

This can be written like this:

[tex]0.75*b=s[/tex] (this is the equation)

As b (amount of bracelets) is our unknown variable, then that's the term we should isolate. To do so we divide each side of the equation by 0.75

[tex]\frac{0.75*b}{0.75} =\frac{s}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{s}{0.75}[/tex] (this is the amount of bracelets you should sell)

Then, the equation for the problem is:

[tex]0.75*b=s[/tex]

and the amount of bracelets you should sell is the price of the soccer cleats divided by 0.75
