Hi i need help for this question.When i check the answer it is wrong.Can someone help me to solve.The answer is (a) $1.80,(b)$283.50.


A tennis racket and 3 tubes of tennis ball cost $299.70.Each tube contained 3 tennis balls.The tennis racket cost $281.70 more than each ball.

(a) Find the cost each ball.
(b) Find the cost of the tennis racket.

Best wishes
Sara


:thankyou:

3 tubes = 3X3 = 9 balls
1 racket = 281.70 + 1 balls
Therefore, $299.70 = $281.70 + 10balls
=> 1ball = $1.8
=> 1 racket = $283.5

hi offering my help..

always remember the hard rule, use bigger area minus smaller area to find shaded area.

80 x 57.8 = 4624m2 (smaller area, field)
80 + 1.1 + 1.1 = 82.2m (length of bigger area, field and path)
57.8 + 1.1 + 1.1 = 60m (breadth of bigger area, field and path)
82.2 x 60 = 4932m2 (bigger area)
4932 - 4624 = 308m2 (area of path)

Ans = 308m2

Hi, pls help me to solve this question.

Tank A and Tank B each contain some fish. If John transferred 12 fish from Tank A to Tank B, both tanks will have the same number of fish. If he transferred 4 fish from Tank B to Tank A instead, Tank A will have 5 times as many fish as Tank B. How many fish are there in each tank?

TIA

[Charnic]

4U = 28

U = 7.

Initial no of fishes in A is 11 and B is 35.

[Jamesbond]

CNS:

4U = 28

U = 7.

Initial no of fishes in A is 11 and B is 35.

Hi CNS, Sorry to interrupt....Shud it be the other way round...
Tank A-35 and Tank B-11.

Hi htn,

If you draw the model,

you will get that 4 units = 32
in other word, 1 unit = 8
So,
A = 8 + 4 + 12 + 12 = 36
B = 8 + 4 = 12

Cheers
