First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
Answer: the answer is 120 or b
Step-by-step explanation: the answer is b
Answer:
$ 63
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is see what point of the line falls right above 7, and then see what number corresponds to that point.

3x-8 = 8x+4
subtract 3x from each side
-8 = 5x+4
subtract 4 from each side
-12 = 5x
divide -12 by 5 to get x
x = -12/5 = -2.4
