the coach of a cricket team buys 7 bats and 6 balls for rupees 3800 later she buys 3 bats and 5 balls for rupees 1750 find the cost of each bat and each Ball
Answers
Let the cost of one Bat be x
and the cost of one ball be y
Then According to Question
7x+6y=3800 ---(i)
3x+5y=1750 ---(ii)
multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 7 we get
21x+18y=11400 (iii)
21x+35y=12250 (iv)
subtracting (iv) from (iii) we get
−17y=−850
⇒y=50
putting y=50 in (i)
7x+6y=3800
⇒7x+6×50=3800
⇒7x=3800−300
⇒x=500
Therefore the cost of each bat is Rs 500
and the cost of each ball is Rs 50
Let cost of each bat be ₹ 'x' &
Cost of each ball be ₹ 'y'.
According to the question:
7x + 6y = 3800-------(1)
3x + 5y = 1750 -------(2)
From equation --(1)
7x = 3800 - 6y
=> x = 3800 - 6y
7 ------- equation (3)
7 is equation ---(3)
Put equation (3) in equation (2):
We get,
Put y = 50 in equation ( 3 )
So, The cost of each bat is ₹ 500 &
The cost of each ball is ₹ 50
