Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of one cricket bat is $370, while the cost of one cricket ball is $185.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's identify what we already know:

1) Mr. Lenny paid a TOTAL of $1480.00 for 4 cricket balls, and two cricket bats.

2) The cost of one cricket bat is twice as much as a cricket ball.

We can create an initial equation:

(4 times x) + (2 times y) = $1480.00

x is the price of one cricket ball, while y is the price of one cricket bat. Considering how the problem is set up, I know the 4 balls should add up to the same price as two bats.

So, the four balls should equal half of $1480, which is $740, and the two bats should also equal $740.

Calculate it out, and you'll find that one cricket bat equals $370, while one ball equals $185.
