We can find the bat's wholesale cost by working backwards -

Do $41 - 9 to get $32, then we can divide the 32 by the 4 to get $8.

Therefore, the wholesale cost of the bat is $8.

Happy to help!

Answer:

The bat's wholesale cost is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to subtract 9 from 41 as that will be 4 times the wholesale cost, which is $32. Then you have to divide 32 by 4, as we want to get the wholesale cost, not 4 times of the wholesale cost, and this would give us the wholesale cost, which is $8.

This question uses the concept of the division.

Vivi, the band drummer, burns 765 calories in 3 hours. And she burns these calories at the same rate. Which means she burns the same amount of calories per hour.

Thus, the set up equation for this question will be:

Energy burnt in 3 hours=756 calories

Therefore, Energy burnt in 1 hour = $\frac{756}{3} =252$ Calories.
