    Answer: (C.) If x represents the number of bracelets sold at $24 each and y represents the number of rings sold at $38 each, the total sales were $520.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the equation given:

    24x + 38y = 520

    In general, prices of thing doesn't change, they are constant values. Values that can vary are the quantities sold.

    For example for the term 24x, since 24 is a constant it can be the price of a bracelet, and x the number of bracelets sold.

    Adding both products is equal to the total sales.

    So, the correct oprion is C.
