table
Let x = price of basketball
x + 1.5x = 37.70
2.5x = 37.70
x = 15.08
Price of basketball = $15.08
Price of football = 1.5 x 15.08 = $22.62
Variable Table:
Item | Price
------------
Basketball | $15.08
Football | $22.62
A football costs 1.5 times the amount of a basketball. If one of each is purchased and the total price is $37.70 before tax, what is the price of each ball?
