Aslina was paid $2 for every bracelet she sold. for every 10 bracelets sold, she was given a bonus of $5. how many bracelets did she sell if she received $189?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of bracelets sold be x

She gets 2 dollars for every bracelet sold. That means her earnings are at least 2*x,

Every 10 bracelets, she gets a bonus of 5 dollars.

5(x/10)

2*x + 5(x/10) = 189

2x + x/2 = 189

2x + 0.5x = 189

2.5x = 189

2.5x/2.5 = 189/2.5

x = 75.6 bracelets.

That 0.6 is trouble.

If you round down, you get 75 * 2.5 = 187.5 which is not enough

If you round up, you 76 * 2.5 = 190

Notice that there is a 2.5 difference between 187.5 and 190.

I would say that her boss only had 189 dollars to give her, but there is no real answer to this. If someone can see a mistake, take their answer.

x - 2 + 2x + 3x+5y + 8

Hope it helps
