Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment  is 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount needed for new equipment = $850

The cost of each golf ball = $2

The number of packs of golf ball in each case = 24

The number of golf ball in each pack = 6

Let The number of cases of golf ball team needed to raise money for equipment = n cases

Now, According to question

∵ 1 pack has 6 balls

so, 24 pack has 6 × 24

i.e 24 packs has 144 balls

So, The number of balls in each case` = 144 balls

Again

∵ cost of 1 ball = $2

So, cost of 144 balls = $2 × 144

i.e cost of 144 balls in each case = $288

Again

∵ The amount needed for new equipment = $850

So, The number of cases of golf ball team needed to raise money for equipment = [tex]\dfrac{amount needed for new equipmen}{cost of 144 balls in each case }[/tex]

Or, n = [tex]\dfrac{850}{288}[/tex]

∴ n = 2.9 ≈ 3

So, The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment  = n = 3

Hence, The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment  is 3 . Answer
