    Let x = the number of bracelets sold.

    Earnings from sales = 2x

    There is a bonus of $5 for every 10 bracelets sold.

    The bonus for selling x bracelets is

    Bonus = (x/10) * ($5) = 0.5x

    Total earnings = 2x + 0.5x = 2.5x

    Because the total earnings is $189, therefore

    2.5x = 189

    x = 189/2.5 = 75.6

    Because x should be an integer, x = 76.

    Answer: 76
