(iii) The coach of a cricket team buys 7 bats and 6 balls for Rs.3800. Later, she buys 3 bats and 5 balls for Rs.1750. Find the cost of each bat and each ball.
Solution:
let be one bat cost=Rs.x
let be one ball cost=Rs.y
7 bats and 6 balls cost-3800
7x+6Y=3800------(1)
3 bats and 5 balls cost = 1750
3x+5y=1750-------(2)
By solving equation (1)
7x+6y=3800
6y=3800-7x
Y=(3800-7x)/6--------(3)
Substitute y=(3800-7x)/6 in equation (2)
3x+5y=1750
3x/1+5(3800-7x)/6=1750
18x+19000-35x/6=1750
19000-10500=17x
x=8500/17=500
X=500
Substitute x=500 in equation (3)
y=(3800-7x)/6=3800-7(500)/6
=3800-3500/6=300/6=50
y=50
x=500, y=50
