Question 1000008: a gold bracelet cost $20 more than ten times the cost of silver earrings. the cost of purchasing silver earrings and a gold bracelet was 1,010

Call the costs of gold and silver, x and y.
Thus
x = 20 + 10y
Also we know
x + y = 1010
Substituting the first into the second gives us
20 + 10y + y = 1010
11y + 20 = 1010
11y = 990
y = $90
x = $920
