Amount needed for down payment = $650

Amount charged by Jordan for mowing 1 lawn = $25

Amount charged by Sharla for 1 necklace = $ 15

Let the number of lawns mowed by Jordan = x

Let the number of necklace made by Sharla = y

Part A:

[tex]25x+15y=650[/tex]

As it is given, Sharla can make 40 necklace so,

[tex]25x+15(40)=650[/tex]

Or it could be 25x=650 and 15y=650

Part B:

No, Sharla cannot afford the down payment because she makes $15 for every necklace and she only has 40 necklaces which is [tex]15*40=600[/tex]
