Answer:

The Answer is: Josh hit 47 balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j = Josh number of hits and c = Caiden number of hits:

j = c/2 + 9

Total:

j + c = 123.

Substitute:

(c/2 + 9) + c = 123

c/2 + c = 123 - 9

c/2 + c = 114

1/2c + 2/2c = 114

3/2c = 144

c = 144 (2/3) = 76, Number of hits for Caiden

Solve for j:

j = 76/2 + 9

j = 38 + 9 = 47, number of hits for Josh

Proof:

j + c = 123

47 + 76 = 123

123 = 123

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

12 grapes cost 90 $how many can bought in 40$
likoan [24]

Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.


Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.


12/x = 0.90/0.40


0.90x = 12(0.40)


0.90x = 4.80


x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90


x = 5.33333


We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.
