See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the wind chimes of the same number that would make her form 100 sea shells be represented by x.

From the information given in the question, this can be denoted as:

12x + 8x = 100

20x = 100

x = 100/20

x = 5

She'll need 5 wind chimes. Let's check

12x + 8x

12(5) + 8(5)

60 + 40 = 100
