The complete question is

The high school tennis team is selling tennis balls to raise $500 for new equipment.They sell the balls for $2 each.

4).How many cases of tennis balls does the tennis team have to sell in order to raise enough money for new equipment.

Solution

Price of each ball = $4

No. of balls in each package = 3

Total number of balls that need to sold in order to raise $500 is

$\frac{500}{4} = 125$

one package = 3balls

Hence no of packages to be sold

$\frac{125}{3} = 41$ packages and 2 balls or total 42 packages

1 case has 24 packages , thus total number of cases to be sold = $\frac{42}{24} = \frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75$
