Reuben will earn $37.30 from selling 1 large and 7 small necklaces.

Explanation:

Let's create a formula for calculating how much Reuben will earn from selling necklaces:

First, let's call what he will earn $e$ $e$ .

Then the number of large necklaces we can call $l$ $l$ and for large necklaces he sells he will make $l \times $ 5.10$ $l xx $5.10$ .

Also, the number of small necklaces we can call $s$ $s$ and for small necklaces he sells he will make $s \times $ 45.60$ $s xx $45.60$ .

We can put this altogether to get our formula:

$e = (l \times $ 5.10) + (s \times $ 4.60)$ $e = (l xx $5.10) + (s xx $4.60)$

In the problem we are told to calculate for Reuben selling 1 large necklace which we can substitute for $l$ $l$ and 7 small necklaces which we can substitute for $s$ $s$ and then we will be able to calculate $e$ $e$ :

$e = (1 \times $ 5.10) + (7 \times $ 4.60)$ $e = (1 xx $5.10) + (7 xx $4.60)$

$e = $ 5.10 + $ 32.20$ $e = $5.10 + $32.20$

$e = $ 37.30$ $e = $37.30$
