Answer:
The regular price of the balls is $8
Step-by-step explanation:
The sporting goods store sales promotion is as follows;
The price of the third ball after buying two balls at regular price = $1.00
The price of the number of balls Coach John pays for the balls he bought = $136
To buy 24 balls, we have;
2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1
Therefore;
The number of balls bought at regular price = The sum of the 2s = 16 balls
The number of balls bought for $1 = 24 - 16 = 8 balls
Let x represent the regular price of the balls, we have;
16 × x + 8 = 136
16·x = 138 - 8 = 128
x = 128/16 = 8
The regular price of the balls = x = $8.
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
