28 + 42 is the total number of necklaces and the total number of bracelets sold.
since there are 2 necklaces per package and 3 bracelets per package, you get:
28/2 = 14 and 42/3 = 14.
this means that 14 packages were sold.
14 * 2 necklaces per package = 28 necklaces
14 * 3 bracelets per package = 42 bracelets.
