If c represents the cost of each baseball, which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.options:The value of c can be found using the formula c\8.37 .The value of c can be found using the formula 3c = 8.37.Each baseball cost $25.11.Each baseball cost $2.79.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of c can be found using the formula 3c = 8.37 (2nd option)

Each baseball cost $2.79 (last option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The cost of 3 baseballs = $8.37

Each of the base ball cost same amount

To find:

the statements that are true from the options

Let c = cost of each baseball

since there are 3 baseballs, the cost of the 3 will be:

Total cost = number of baseballs (cost per each ball)

8.37 = 3(c)

3c = 8.37 (2nd option)

To determine the cost of each ball, we need to solve for c:

`\begin{gathered} 3c\text{ = 8.37} \\ divide\text{ both sides by 3:} \\ c\text{ = 8.37/3} \\ c\text{ = \$2.79 Last option\rparen} \end{gathered}`
