Revenue, for n necklaces, 3n dollars

Cost, already spent for supplies, 22 dollars

3n-22=50-------profit of $50 was specified.
3n=50%2B22
3n=72
n=72%2F3
highlight_green%28n=24%29

Sell 24 necklaces

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG ========> Must be 1 necklace more, (not 1%2F3 of a necklace); so highlight%28n=10%29.  Profit needs to be a little more than $50. <========= WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
