Question

the total cost of 3 bats and 2 balls is 745. if a bat costs rupaya 40 more than a ball. find the price of each​

Answer 1

Answer :

The Cost of Bat is ₹ 165, Cost of the Ball is ₹125

Step by Step Explanation :

Given-

• The cost of three bats and two balls is ₹ 745.
• A bat costs ₹ 40 more than the ball.

Let,

The cost of one ball be x and the cost of one ball be y.

Now,

According to the question we have two equations-

1. 3x + 2y = 745 (i)
2. x = y + 40  (ii)

Now substituting (ii) in (i),

3 ( y + 40) + 2y = 745

=> 3y + 120 + 2y = 745

=> 5y = 745 - 120

=> 5y = 625

=> y = 625/5

=> y = 125

Now,

Substituting the value of y in eq (ii)

x = 125 + 40

=> x = 165

Therefore,

The cost of one ball is ₹125 and the cost of one bat is ₹165
