Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
  = 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

An amateur soccer ball is priced at
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: $26

Step-by-step explanation:

   If $19.50 is 3/4, we need to find 4/4.

3/4 -> 0.75

4/4 -> 1

    We will set up a proportion and solve.

\frac{19.5}{0.75} =\frac{x}{1}

19.5 = 0.75x

26 = x

         The professional ball is $26.
