Lucy’s sports store can order basketballs and footballs in two different ways.
A box of 4 basketballs and 3 footballs costs ₱1 005.00.
A bag of 3 basketballs and 5 footballs costs ₱1 115.00.
how much does each ball cost?
4b + 3f = 1005
3b + 5f = 1115
b ≈ 152.73, f ≈ 131.36

Let b - basketballs
f - footballs
5[4b + 3f = 1005.00]
3[3b + 5f = 1115.00]
-----------------------------
20b + 15f =5025
-[9b + 15f = 3345]
-----------------------
11b =1680
b = 152.72 pesos Answer//
solving for f
4b + 3f = 1005
3f = 1005 - 4b
........1005 - 4b
f = -------------------
.............3
........1005 - 4(152.72)
f = --------------------------
..................3
f = 131.37 pesos answer//

Simultaneous Equations
4B + 3F = 1005
3B + 5F = 1115
Multiply the top eq'n by '3' and the bottom eq'n by '-4' . then add the two equations. This will eliminate 'B'.
Hence
12B + 9F = 3015
-12B - 20F = -4460
-11F = - 1445
Divide through by '-1'
11F = 1445
Divide both sides by '11'
F = 1445/11 = 131.36 is the cost of one football
substitute this value into one of the original equations for 'B'
4B + 3(131.36) = 1005
4B + 394.09 = 1005
4B = 610.91
B = 610.91/4 = 152.72 is the cost of one basketball.

4B + 3F = 1005.00;
3B + 5F = 1115.00.
Multiply the 2nd equation by 0.6, you get
1.8B + 3F = 669.00.
Subtract that from the very first equation, you get
2.2B = 336.00, which implies
B = 152.73 and
F = (1005.00 - 4B)/3
= 131.96.
