Joshua makes earrings to sell at craft fairs. Each pair of earrings contains the same number of wooden beads as glass beads. For each pair, Joshua spends a total of $0.29 on the wooden beads and $0.11 on the glass beads. How many pairs of earrings, x, can Joshua make if he has $20 to spend on beads?

50 pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each pair of earrings, Joshua spends $0.29 + $0.11 in materials.

So he spends $0.40 for each pair of earrings.

If he has $20, we want to know how many times he can spend $0.40.

For this, we take the quotient:

$20/$0.40 = 50

This means that we can sperate $20 into 50 times $0.40.

So he can buy enough material to make 50 pairs of earrings.
