Answer:
3. 76 Balls and 27 Bats
4. you try this
5. you try this
Explanation:
Each problem follows the same approach to solve.
Setup 2 equations, one showing the total number and the other showing the total costs.
I'll work out problem 3 and you should be able to do the other two
L=the number of balls
T=the number of bats
equation 1:
L+T=100
equation 2:
L(4.50) + T(20.00) = 822
solve for T in equation 1:
T= 100-L
now substitute T in equation 2:
L(4.5) + 20(100-L) = 822.0
solve for L:
L= -1178/-15.5=76
T=100-76=24
I'll let you know if problems 4 and 5 are correct
