Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
The high school tennis team is selling tennis balls to raise $500 for new equipment.They sell the balls for $2 each.
4).How many cases of tennis balls does the tennis team have to sell in order to raise enough money for new equipment.
Solution
Price of each ball = $4
No. of balls in each package = 3
Total number of balls that need to sold in order to raise $500 is
[tex]\frac{500}{4} = 125[/tex]
one package = 3balls
Hence no of packages to be sold
[tex]\frac{125}{3} = 41[/tex] packages and 2 balls or total 42 packages
1 case has 24 packages , thus total number of cases to be sold = [tex]\frac{42}{24} = \frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75[/tex]
