Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
608,000
you go to thousands look next number left and round up or down and the rest after the thousands becomes zeros
Let's callx = number of dimes.y = number of nickels.We must make a system of two equations with two incgonitas to solve the problem and find the solution, knowing that we have 50 coins and that between both they add $ 4.50.The result is x = 40, y = 10.I attach the solution to the problem.
