     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.
