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.

If the product of the integers a, b, and c is 1, then what is the difference between the largest and the smallest possible
stepladder [879]
Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with

it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.

a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1

we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
 (we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two

1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2

The answer should be D: 2
