Which system of equations best represents the situation above?
Note: In all of the choices below, e represents money earned, p represents price, and n represents number of items sold.
a
Earrings: e=6(30-n)
Necklaces: 264.50-e=12.50*n
b
Earrings: e=12.50(30-n)
Necklaces: 264.50-e=6*n
c
Earrings: e=6(n-30)
Necklaces: e-264.50=12.50*n
d
Earrings: e=30-n
Necklaces: 264.50-e=n
