Answer:

42.50 = 32 + 4.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount with Herman = $42.50

Cost of shirt = $32

Cost of bracelets = $4.25 each

Which equation can be used to to determine x, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Herman could buy.

Let

x = number of bracelets Herman could buy

Total amount = cost of shirt + cost of bracelets

42.50 = 32 + 4.25x

42.50 - 32 = 4.25x

10.50 = 4.25x

x = 10.50/4.25

x = 2.47

Approximately x = 2.5
