<h3>What is the unitary method?</h3>
The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.
Before school began, Mrs. Weeks bought a total of 86 balls.
Total number of each type of ball 8.
footballs - There are 8 footballs.
Basketballs - Two more than twice the number of footballs are Basketballs .
So, Basketballs = 2 + 2(8)
= 18
Baseballs - Four less than 5 times the number of footballs are
Baseballs .
So, Baseballs = 5(8)- 4
= 36
Softballs - Six more than half of the baseballs are softballs.
So, Softballs = 6 + 1/2 baseballs are softballs
= 6 + 1/2 (18)
= 15
