Answer:

16 Soccer balls

68 T-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

  • Total order = 84 items
  • Cost of a soccer ball = $25
  • Cost of a t-shirt = $9.50
  • Total bill = $1,046

Define the variables:

  • Let x = the number of soccer balls ordered.
  • Let y = the number of t-shirts ordered.

Create two equations from the given information:

[tex]\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad x + y = 84[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad 25x+9.5y=1046[/tex]

Rewrite Equation 1 to make y the subject:

[tex]\implies y=84-x[/tex]

Substitute this into Equation 2 and solve for x:

[tex]\implies 25x+9.5(84-x)=1046[/tex]

[tex]\implies 25x+798-9.5x=1046[/tex]

[tex]\implies 15.5x+798=1046[/tex]

[tex]\implies 15.5x=248[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=16[/tex]

Substitute the found value of x into the rewritten form of Equation 1 and solve for y:

[tex]\implies y=84-16[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=68[/tex]

Solution

  • Soccer balls ordered = 16
  • T-shirts ordered = 68
