Gold bracelets (G) that cost $8 each
Silver necklaces (S) that cost $6 each
Copper pins (C) that cost $4 each
Pairs of wire earrings (E) that cost $3 each pair



The display must meet the following conditions:

  • There are at least two of each item;
  • The total cost of the items in the display is more than $100; and
  • No two display boxes that share a side can have the same item.
