Question

Franklin is purchasing replacement equipment for outdoor recess. Mr. DiCanio put in an order totaling $97.23 to purchase 4 playground balls for $17.25 each, a package of 10 jump ropes for $18.75, and 1 Nerf football. How much did the Nerf football cost?

Answer 1

Nerf football cost is $9.48.

Explanation:

Total order made by Mr. DiCanio = $97.23

A playground ball cost $17.25 each, so that the cost of 4 playground balls can be determined by;

4 playground balls = $17.25 x 4 = $69.0

A package of 10 jump ropes = $18.75

Cost incurred on the items above = $69.0 + $18.75

= $87.75

Thus,

The cost of 1 Nerf football = $97.23 - $87.75\

= $9.48

Therefore, the cost of Nerf football is $9.48
