Answer:
4th option
Step-by-step explanation:
L = larger softball and S = smaller softball ,then
L + S = 80 → (1) ← equation based on number of softballs ordered
2.75L + 3.25S = 245 → (2) ← equation based on cost
subtract S from both sides in (1)
L = 80 - S → (3)
substitute L = 80 - S into (2)
2.75(80 - S) + 3.25S = 245 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
220 - 2.75S + 3.25S = 245
220 + 0.5S = 245 ( subtract 220 from both sides )
0.5S = 25 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )
S = 50
substitute S = 50 into (3)
L = 80 - 50 = 30
50 small softballs and 30 large softballs were ordered
