Answer 1

x represent the number of bats

y represent the number of balls

The inequalities are

x ≥ 4

y ≥ 8

15x + 5y ≤ 120

To determine the combination that the coach should buy, we would substitute the values of x and y in the different combinations. We have

For x = 6, y = 10

15(6) + 5(10) = 140

This is greater than 120

For x = 3, y = 10,

15(3) + 5(10) = 95

This is less than 120 but x is less than 4

For x = 4, y = 9,

15(4) + 5(9) = 105

The cost is less than 120 and the conditions for x and y are satisfied. Thus, the correct option is

4 bats,
