Answer:

I sell 12 bracelets and 24 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each bracelet is $2 and that of each necklace is $3.

I collect $96, selling a total of 36 jewelry items.

Let us assume that I sell x bracelets and y necklaces.

So, x + y = 36 ........ (1) and  

2x + 3y = 96 .......... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 3y - 2y = 96 - 72

⇒ y = 24

Hence, from equation (1) we get x = 36 - y = 36 - 24 = 12

Therefore, I sell 12 bracelets and 24 necklaces. (Answer)
