and that of ball be y
Then according to the equation
7x+6y=3800
3x+5y=1750
solving these equations we can get the answer

Answer:
- The cost of each bat is ₹ 500 and each ball is ₹ 50.
Given :
- The coach of a cricket team buys 7 bats and 6 balls for 3800.
- Later, she buys 3 bats and 5 balls for 1750.
To find :
- The cost of each bat and each ball =?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of each bat and each ball be ₹ x and ₹ y respectively.
The cost of 7 bats and 6 balls = 3800
➮ 7x + 6y = 3800 ..... (1)
The cost of 3 bats and 5 balls = ₹ 1750
➮ 3x + 5y = 1750 ..... (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 7, we get
21x + 18y = 11400 ....(3)
And, 21x + 35y = 12250 .... (4)
Subtracting (3) from (4), we get
➮ 17y = 850
➮ y = 850/17
➮ y = 50
Putting y = 50 in (2), we get
➮ 3x + 5 x 50 = 1750
➮ 3x + 250 = 1750
➮ 3x = 1500
➮ x = 500
Hence,
