Question

Noah bought 7 baseball's and a $100 bat. Each baseball was the same price. If noah spent $121, how much did he pay for each baseball? SHOW WORK.

Answer 1

Let's use the variable x to represent the cost of one baseball.

If Noah spent a total of $121 in 7 baseball's and a $100 bat, we can write the equation:

`121=7x+100`

Now, solving this equation for x, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 7x=121-100 \\ 7x=21 \\ x=(21)/(7) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`

So the cost of each baseball is $3.
